I have a sharp pain at one of the incision sites. On the 3rd day after surgery I bent over and picked up my cat. Now if I move around much or certain ways it hurts like crazy. The other incision sites aren't sore at all. I hope I'm just worring too much.

Everyone has 1 incision more sore than the others and that's the one they pull your stomach out of. But a pulled internal isn't anything to really worry about, it just adds a bit to your healing time. Ice/heat and pain killers. And the internal stitches usually cause a burning feeling. You should be fine :)

Thank you. I'll try the ice or heat.

YAY! 3 weeks out for all of us today! I've lost 18 lbs so far. 14 of which came the first week (WOW!) and I've slowed down and even hit a stall during week 2. I weigh everyday and sometimes I'm even up a pound or so. I'm going to try to only weigh once a week but that's so hard to do LOL! I'm eating soft foods and doing well. I hadn't got sick from anything I've tried but today I had tuna from the can with a little light mayo - those couple bites I had tasted so good but as soon as it hit my tummy I was SICK! I held it together and it passed but it was rough! I had tuna just a few days ago and it was fine! Weird, but I guess it's part of the process. On week 4 I can introduce all foods back into my diet - hoping that goes better than the tuna did! I want a piece of chicken!

3 weeks and 21 pounds later, I almost feel normal again.

This morning when I woke up, without thinking about it, put my hands to my face and realized my face felt different! I could feel my face instead of so much soft fat. I can't wait for all the changes (good & bad)!

I've lost a total of 13 lbs since surgery which was week later now I been on a stall since. I do feel my face and body losing inches. My doctor told me to stop weighing myself and concentrate on fitting into clothes and lose inches. I'm on 600 calories a day and workout cardio twice a day 5 times a week for the past week.

I have lost 28 lbs since surgery date. I am not working out yet but I will start next week. I'm on mushy food now and I have been fine. I have not vomited or been nauseas. The only thing is that I have not gone to the bathroom in like 4 days! That is the only annoying thing!

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
