Activity level at 3 months.

I'll be sleeved for 3 months on the 13th.  Overall I feel pretty good, I'm down 40lbs and that was very easy, I'm getting back to the gym and the doctor told me after 8 weeks resume normal activity.  Since I have done that I find that I get discomfort every now and then and I feel pulling and sometimes sore in my lower left side.  Then I baby it and it goes away.  Am I to assume that normal activity may not really mean normal activity.  I'm the type of girl to move my furniture, give my 100lb dog a bath and then clean the entire house.  I seem to pay for it every time.  Is anyone else experiencing this?  I go for 3 month next week and I plan on talking to the doctor about it but I'm curious on what other people were feeling at 3 months.  Even my scar's feel irritated.  One thing that has really been bothering me is when I drive and my (smaller) fat bulge pushes out from my pants and seat belt I find myself holding my stomach.   Wondering if I should be worried.

I have not had any of the symptoms you described at 3 months out.  I did feel that way at 6-8 weeks, however.  I would ask the doctor.

I'm almost 3 months out and go to the gym, lift weights, do yoga classes, do the elliptical for 50 minutes and get my heart rate up in the 160s in high intensity interval training. 

I'm totally back to normal in my daily activities and am stronger and more energetic than ever.  I really haven't had pain since the first week post-op.  My incisions are healed.

I would talk to your doctor.

 Yep, what the others said, I would talk to the doctor! I am back and have been to full activity, I run/walk over 4 miles a day and don't have any issues.
