I am 11days post-op and I've had the same thing. I work as a psychologist and went back to work this week, and after an hour of sitting with each client I would stand and that one incision would get shooting pains. Tylenol helps a lot. It also had some brand new bruising around it yesterday - not sure what to make of that.

I'm officially right on the edge of being back into the 200's for the first time in about a decade, I'm also now closer to my goal than I am my heaviest weight, so that's pretty exciting.
I've been slowly learning to take smaller bites, way more chewing, and taking more time with meals. I know that we're not supposed to be eating fast food, but I had a regular McDonalds cheeseburger a couple days ago. It was the first burger I've had in four months, and even though it was from McDonalds, it tasted great and I was able to finish the whole thing over the course of about 30 minutes. I'd say that's progress.
At one point, my surgeon had told me that it was okay to start incorporating lunch meats and I tried boars head roast beef and it made me so sick that I swore I'd never even try beef again, but I did and it seemed to work out.
Most days, I see myself mostly eating string cheese and various nuts.
This has definitely been an interesting journey so far.

Thank you for the kind words, generally, I feel pretty good.
It's kind of a pain to be hungry and want to eat like I used to, then take 3 bites and be so full that I have to have a spit cup or I'll puke, lol..

As far as pain or anything like that, I don't have any and I feel like normal.
