The cramping is still there - but it seems to be getting better! I really appreciate all of the comments and encouragement.

And... my plan was to go back to work after 2 weeks... I hope that happens too.

jesswls -Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!! I'm literally in tears because I was starting to feel a little hopeless... I was thinking, this was supposed to help me, not hurt me. Of course, there's nothing I can do but continue on... I'm just praying I (we all) start to feel better soon. Thank you all for your input - I never got a hold of the dr, but I didn't try very hard. I have little patience these days. lol Tomorrow I'm really going to try and follow the intake schedule I was given and hope and pray it gets better FAST! I'm truly not a good patient.

Gracegirl22 - what did your dr tell you to do? Maybe it will help the rest of us. I'm going to go ahead and call, I'll you all know what I find out. Ugh, this is just miserable!

What I mean by indenture is a sunken in spot - he said some fatty tissue came out with it was well, so it's uneven. And yes, it's also all of the other things you listed. He said to rub it - I just can't bring myself to do that...

I have intense cramps when I drink anything warm, cold or room temp. I've started passing gas other than just burping (sorry, I know that is a lot of info) and I have had bm's. But every time I drink and sometimes even when I'm not drinking I get these intense cramps that last for a few seconds and they're gone. Also, the incision where they pulled out the stomach has a bit of an indenture and my surgeon said for me to rub it - it's very tender and "hard" feeling... I'm starting to have those "WTH have I done to myself: thoughts. I want to be thankful, but I feel week and yucky and can't get in even half of the liquid/protein I need to - IDK what to do... It's Sunday and tomorrow is a holiday, I'm not sure I can get in contact with anyone at the dr. office. It was SO much better in the hospital except that the dilauded was making me itch so bad I was clawing myself to pieces. Did anyone else have any of these problems? Ugh... I need some encouraging words...
