Ok I need some help, I'm 16 days post op incisions and healed, walking everyday,off liquids as of Friday ,cleared to do arm&leg workouts,I drink 60-90 OSS of protein,and 5 23 oz of water,plus Popsicles,cottage cheese and stuff,so I'm doing everything I'm suppose to do, but for the last two days the pain of my left side returns every now and again.it started after Thursday, after I finished my walk felt like something inside had dropped and hanging,no very little pain on Friday when I finished walking.but yesterday evening the pain was so intense ,but not constant .if I took a step it hurt if I moved a certain way pain ,it's seemed really deep inside,nothing like the pain from the surgery.im having regular BM, does anyone have a clue to what this pain MIGHT be,? I'm open to all suggestions .... Oh right now no pain soooooo strange ;(

Sounds like something worth asking your doctor about, even though it sounds like a non-emergency. They would be able to tell you if it's something to be concerned about or if there were other signs of possible problems to look for. You're not that far out and that is what they are there for.

Aside from that it sounds like you are doing awesome! I'm having trouble getting all my fluids... and Protein? I'm not even close on that! The taste of the powder, or even the THOUGHT of the powder, is grossing me out. I'm finding food smells pretty unappealing right now, too. How are you getting all your protein?

The closest Costco is in Stoughton MA. I'm bored this week, maybe I'll take a drive up there. What kind of place is it? :-)

Costco? It's a giant warehouse with everything you can imagine in it but in bulk,electronics,food,clothing,wine,beer,fresh seafood,pastry dept. ,gas station,tires dept, gearing, eyeglasses,furniture,plants,pharmacy,pet supplies outdoor patio stuff,also a ice parlor and restaurant . All costco are not created equal I've been to several in different states,but the ones in the Pacfic Northwest where the headquarter is located is the creme' de la creme' . Here where I live in texas is pretty grand too. Just be prepared to spend more than you thought lol
