sharp pain @ big incision first time today

7 days post op. This afternoon I sat down and felt this major pain @ the biggest incision area. I stopped, breathed and it went away. Now tonight I felt it again, froze, breathed and decided to put my binder back on. I'm thinking I'm overdoing things (have to drive this soon. & take care of my kids) or maybe I ate too much or too fast @ lunch? First day on pureed foods. So maybe I overate. But, tonight I'm having my kids help me more even tho only 5 and six. Anybody else have a big pain @ biggest inciison? Maybe its just the incision itself? Kind of scares me.

PS: the more I think about the pain, I think its just that pain from my incision. I haven't been able to take any pain medication due to having to drive my kids. I just took some pain medicine since we are in for the evening. Binder back on. Hopefully I can sleep and be okay. My surgery was just a week ago. Biggest incision has always been the most painful. If pain comes back, I will go see Dr. Thanks.

Are you taking liquid Tylenol? I only had perscription pain meds in the hospital. At home I took liquid Tylenol every 4 hours for probably a week to stay ahead of the pain.

I was banded on 2/7 and only today, the area directly under the big incision is hurting quite a bit. the area doesn't look inflammed but it feels that way. Normal?
