How long before you abdomin feels normal?

Just wondering how long before everything feels normal? I am one week post op today and although every day gets better I'm just curious as to when you will be able to twist and turn and bend without pain? I am also getting this strange pain in my lower belly right side, no where near my incisions, I know this sounds weird but it's not a deep pain, it feels like it's just under the skin wit hung the fat pockets.. I know strange. Anyone else experience this? Meeting with surgeon tomorrow going to ask.. But I also feel like I may be being overly cautious with my bending and twisting due to fear of pain, I am probably creating more muscle aches than there would be .....

I think I felt really good after 3 months. I'm sure everyone is different, but that is when I could eat all foods again and felt a lot of energy come into my life. More healthy than ever at almost 5 months out!!


I also had sleeve on 14th. I'm tender, but mostly where my incisions are. I pulled the glue off of the small incisions, which has helped with the tugging feeling. Other than that, I am too getting sick of the liquids...craving carbs big time!
