Hey everyone, two weeks ago I was feeling great & starting to do more than I probably should have but I have four small kids & I hate having a messy house, well I hurt myself one Saturday when I jumped up fast off a couch when someone came running in yelling my name that my daughter was hurt (she wasn't it was a joke) and since then I have been so sore I can barely bend, sit down, walk around or even lay on my side without feeling like my insides are burning or a stabbing feeling, I see my surgeon Friday but hoepfully someone can encourage me because my weight loss has slowed down too I lost 20 pounds by three weeks and now I have only lost another 6 pounds since

@@undeserving777 - that is horrible about the pain! It sounds like something did happen, glad you are seeing the surgeon to get to the bottom of it and hope you have some pain relief soon. I had pain until about a month out myself. Re: your weight loss, it sounds like you hit the stall that most of us get so remember it is normal to stall (on this site they call it the readed 3 week stall), it is your body's time to reorganize and let go. I was really worried too, now I am 5 months out and I find the stalls much more mangeable, and always I drop a lot quickly after they are over (although I realize that is easy for me to say now, but really, it gets easier). I just focus on high Protein (at least 80g for me), lots of Water and low carb and move my body and trust the process. There are lots of threads on here about stalls, slow losing etc if you want more info. Here is one I wrote to help me during the times my loss was slow or non-existent.

Maybe something will resonate with you.

Best of luck to you!

I sneezed yesterday, buckled my suture line above my belly button a little so I pain there again but a few weeks out not too bad overall.

Sneeze caught me totally by surprise, I had just gone downstairs to get something from my desk when it happened.

Don't overdo. Let people around you help out. Try and rest, let your doc - in my case we also have nurses, nurse practitioners and the staff to call if we have any issue - know of your pain.

While I don't like to take it regularly Vicodin works best to take the edge off although I try to take it only as needed
