Mendy, good for you,  The first couple of weeks were the worst.  Take it easy, is your pain over on your left side, not really near any of the incisions.  I had that too.  Yes the pain was worse with any bouncing of my abdomen.  It will get better.  Make sure you are not getting constipated.  Nasty stuff constipation.  That lead to worse pain for me at one point.  I will give you a shot of my milk of magnesia, only needed to use it for 1 day and whooooo, relief.

44 # of my loss were during the preop diet.  I have been thinking of you and wondering how you are doing.  See you at chat tomorrow evening if you are up to it.  Hugs, Kathy

Mendy...keep tabs on that pain. Where is it? Make sure you run no fever, watch for infection. And don't over do things. You must heal up. I had a lot of pain for about 1 1/2 weeks and sometimes it worsened, but it was from air trapped in my from surgery. Several small walks daily helped me get that air out.
Take good care and welcome to the losers bench! 1 lb a day, how great is that!!??!!
