Thank you very much for taking the time to respond to my question. It does make sense what you are saying. I will probably schedule an appointment with my bariatric doctor to get things checked out.

Good mornin y'all.
Not much happening today. Yesterday was pretty decent for the most part. We got a lot done around the house that has been needing done.
We might go to Sam's but that might be tomorrow. I'm feeling a little rough around the edges. Mostly digestive issues. The iron supplement is still throwing me for a loop. I just hope it'll drive up my levels like intended.
QOTD: my all time favorite was a Godiva white chocolate raspberry. They don't have it here anymore. I do like the talenti brand but don't have a favorite per se. Ice cream isn't always my thing anymore. Haven't had official stuff in years.
B: small yogurt bar and a special k crisp
L: andouille sausage and some green beans
D: chicken breast, lightly coated cooked in the oven
Good Morning! We are having some warm weather here and it's supposed to be close to 90 degrees the next few days but maybe a cool down for the weekend. My employee is supposed to be back today after just over two weeks of being out for bereavement. We are glad to have her back and of course we will continue to support her but it'll be nice to get back to my normal tasks.
QOTD: I loved a good rocky road with bananas and some whipped cream. I also like mint chip
TSS: 10 years 7 months
B: SF latte, 3 turkey sausage links, and an orange
L: Turkey and cheese sticks, oikos yogurt and some fruit
S: A piece of fruit and yogurt
D: Zucchini noodles, meat sauce with meatballs, a banana, and 2 mini York peppermint patties
ES: Protein ice cream and carbmaster toast
E: 1/2 hour elliptical and 2 miles on treadmill
V/W: On track
Totals: Cals:1425 Protein:117 Carbs: 130 Fat:56
Have a great day!

I would think maybe a stabbing type pain or could be a pulling type pain especially if scar tissue has developed.
When I had my lap band before I revised to the bypass I would get a pulling type pain where my port was and it was because it had been encased in scar tissue that attached itself to a muscle and when I moved it would pull on it. Not sure if that makes sense or not.
You could have an ulcer which is pretty common in bypass patients and it is like a burning pain.

Good Morning Gang. The weather yesterday was pretty crappy, chilly and rainy. Today is supposed to be sunny and 50. Irvin got two outside rabbit cages almost done. He just has to put the doors on. They came out pretty nice and we are going to Dartmouth, MA Saturday morning to hopefully pickup two stainless steel rabbit cages so we have extras for when we breed the rabbits in a couple of months.
It was funny when I got home I noticed a notebook on the kitchen table with things written down on it. Then realized that Irvin had made a list of things he wants to get done this year. He must have seen my list from the weekend and how much of it was crossed off. LOL
QOTD: What's your favorite Ice Cream flavor? Haagen Dazs Chocolate Peanut Butter hands down. There is something about the creaminess of the chocolate and the peanut butter is real no fake crap.
B: coffee and bacon and egg wrap
L: corned beef and butternut squash
D: turkey and mashed potatoes
30 minutes on the treadmill
Have a great Tuesday everyone!!!

Having fun is more important than the time stamp in my opinion.

I rarely drank coffee and my go to drink has always been Coca Cola. Diet Coke for many years. Now it is regular Cherry Coke. But I only drink about an ounce at a time and a 20-ounce bottle does me for a week or so.
Jennifer, you are amazing with everything you get accomplished. I love shrimp so will try that recipe.
Jim, congratulations on your fitness. Long ago, when I ran, I told myself even if you end up walking or come in last, almost nobody else in the world would be able to finish those runs.
Chrissy, it was down in the 30's here all weekend. Also some rain, so great weather for watching movies.
Real life begins where your comfort zone ends
I will have to check out the new flavor. As I got towards 5-k, my legs were saying "Yeah, almost done!" But my brain was saying "two more miles still."

Congrats on the Run. I do not know if I could finish a 5k in 67 minutes at this time, but I think you did great. Congratulations. I lost my running gloves somewhere over the winter and I am not happy. I been looking for them for over a month with no success. Also, I see Sidney Sweenie has a new Bai called Simbu Strawberry. I did not grab one, but I was tempted.

Good morning Jennifer and Menuers,
Wow you did so much this weekend. I was definitely nonproductive myself. I mean I did all my usual, but I did not do any extra. Actually, to the point where I thought I should have at least taken a walk without the dog but chose to watch movies instead. It is still a bit cool here. It really wasn't too cold to walk but I chose not to. I got now plans for the week except the usual so hopefully steady as she goes.
QOTD: Diet coke. I still need me some caffeine
Accountability: Lats of lounging and grazing and cake.
Accountability: I guess more Date bar, but I am almost finished.
TSS: 7 years 3-months 13-days 168.4 Lowest (129.4)
