I'm on total lockdown because of everything happening in my city. Curled up with the news. A month ago I would have been turning to food in this time of stress. Right now it all feels so surreal.

Stay safe, I have several family and friends who are also caught in that lockdown either in their homes or some of the are stuck at work in lockdown it is so scary and crazy I live about 30 mins south of Boston but I was having my surgery in there just a week ago and I'm so glad I timed that just right as rumor has it my hospital had a bomb threat just the other day on Wednesday, had I had my surgery one week later I would have been caught up in that whole bomb threat crap.... This whole world has gone crazy.... And it's so dam scary.

Yes!!! All the time!! And it doesn't hurt or anything. They sound almost like belly growling when I used to be hungry. Weird thing is I know I'm not. Lol. I'm so glad I'm not the only one!!

I wonder if it will go away!? It's so annoying!

I wasn't given limits other than a sample menu. Each meal on true sample menu is 4-5oz.

I didn't get a limit! But I have been trying to keep it at 2 oz a meal. Taking 20-30 min to eat. I worry about stretching out my pouch. I have an appointment next Friday with my nutritionist and figured on asking then. I have not hit the OMG I am in pain I ate too much feeling yet. But I also don't know if I am eating enough.

Man, sure hurting today. It doesn't feel like incision pain, it feels like I pulled a muscle in my stomach. I know I really hurt myself on Thursday trying to get outta bed, I wonder if this is where all of the pain is coming from. How does it feel to pull a tummy muscle? Anyone know?

Yep, I did it. Next to my belly button. Hurt to sit, bend, sit up. Ugh. Just a horrible PAIN. Was also tender to the touch. It's slowly going away but freaked me out.

I hate sleeping on my back, y'all. I cannot wait until I can sleep on my side again. Every time I try, it is just so darn uncomfortable.

I'm the same way!! I was able to put a pillow under my belly while on my side and it gave me a lot of relief. Have you tried? I know it's important we get good rest so we can heal

Yeah, exactly! On the left of my belly button is where it hurts the most. I know the incisions hurt some, but this is like really painful. I hope it starts to go away soon, I can hardly walk.

I did try. I couldn't find anything that made me comfortable.

This was mine EXACTLY. I called the surgeons nurse. She said I pulled something. I sleep on the left of our bed. So that big incision pulled when I tried to get up cuz my cat flipped out in the middle of the night. She said:

As long as you are passing gas, still having bowel movements, no temperature, there wasn't an actual bulge like a hernia and there was no heat or redness, to just keep an eye on it and call if anything gets worse.

I stayed a extra night because of my two drains were dumping Fluid so fast and my puncture wounds were leaking so much. This should of happened on Thursday and Friday not Sat.
