I still have a small spot with some pain, but it is not the kind of pain that I had from the initial surgery.  It is most likely nerve pain from what my surgeon said.  All of the rest of my stomach feels completely normal.  However that one spot which is at my largest incision, if I bend over the wrong way or put pressure on it some way it will hurt.  It is a sharp pain that feels warm but I am able to avoid it and it has gotten better over time.  From my 2 week appt my surgeon said that it isn't typical to have the kind of pain I was still having and is why he attributed that painful spot to nerve pain because it fit the symptoms. 

I hope I could help.

Is this the amount of water/isopure that the doctor recommended? you will be different because of your reop so I hate to advise too much. I sipped constantly and got in quite a bit more than that in an hour. If you are dizzy and thirsty you are dehydrated. If you are not able to get more in that that, please call your doctor in the morning. Dehydration will  make you feel terrible and it will be difficult to catch up because of our small pouches.
Let me know how you feel, I am concerned for you.

lol, I chose it because it was my favorite song of 2007!

I have a 20 oz cup right here in front of me at all times.  I take sips every few minutes.  My goal is to drink 2 of these throughout the day and then get the rest of my fluids from Hot Cocoa, etc.  Just keep trying!
