@@Maddy18 wow I'm jealous! Did you experience any stalls. Cause I had my surgery 6 weeks ago and I haven't lost anything more in the last 2 weeks. I lost 15 pounds the first week and no more weight loss the last 2 weeks. I've had really good responses from people explains why that has happened. So I don't feel so discouraged now. But just wondering, did you monitor carbs, no sugar in sure, or monitor caloric intake? I would love to hear how you did it!!

Freeze some crystal light into ice cubes and chew on those.

I well remember wanting to chew something. Try sugar free popsicles. They help a little. Otherwise, just know this time will pass. A small blip in the larger journey.

It sucks.... But you will get through it!! I will say that first bite of scrambled egg or cottage cheese is like heaven!!!

I am in the same boat Maddy. I'm day 9 and I'm SOOOOO sick of liquids. Would kill for some scrambled eggs.< /p>

It's is exactly the same for me. I'm post week 3 and that deep burning pain you describe is only just starting to lessen. And yes it did get worse. Pressure on it and stretching bending or moving to quick and I was in agony. I've been prescribed codeine and soluble acetaminophen. Both every four hours. I personally was told don't take anti-inflammatories because they can seriously irritate your new stomach which is still trying to heal.
Hope you feel better soon xox

I was miserable with this pain. If your surgeon allows it, ibuprofen liquigels on a schedule really helped me...even more than pain meds. My pain magically disappeared around 3.5 weeks out.

It is normal, there's a deeper stitch there. It lasted a couple weeks but gradually got better. sleeping was the hardest for me.. I basically slept in a recliner so I wouldnt toss and turn because movement while laying down hurt so bad. I only used my stronger pain meds first few days and switched to Tylenol. I imagine ice and heating pad might help though I didn't use it. Just limit your movement and don't lift anything heavy, let it heal.

I am two weeks post op and felt that pain yesterday when I was getting up and down. It went away today. Doc said that was the opening they had to pull the muscle the most to get the stomach out and to expect that pain for about two weeks. If you can't handle it, I'd take my meds accordingly.

My doc did say to use ice one day and then heating pad the next couple of days when I was being discharged.

I found an ice pack helped a lot. I pulled a stitch there and it hurt quite a bit for about 10 days. If it's not hot, you don't have a fever, the area around it isn't red or swollen, and it's not oozy, you are probably OK. If you are still concerned, talk to your doc.

This morning, 4 days post op, I weighted in at 297.5. That's the first time I have been under 300 lbs in about 4 years. My highest weight, when I began pursuing WLS was 328 and the day of surgery I was 304. I couldn't be more excited!
