Pain and soreness during pre op liquid diet 

I'm now on day 6 of the optifunk and I am still feeling a soreness and some pain in my front (belly and abdominal area and also extends to the sides)

I've had this for around 3 days now, it feels like I've been either ab crunching or was kicked in the front area the night before.

It's not a severe or debilitating pain, but it's enough to notice and be an annoyance.

Is this normal during this stage? I'm drinking as much as I can, taking my vitamins and doing mild exercise (walking and some Xbox Kinect low impact exercise). I've lost now 13 pounds as of this am weigh in and this is day 6 of optifunk.

Thanks

Just a thought, but maybe because it's making your lose weight...... when I start to lose weight my ribs ache like sore muscles, and I think it's because my ribs are losing the weight that has been pushing them out.
Don't laugh, but thought maybe it's something like that.

I thought that tooo, like I was going in starvation mode lol. That or I'm sleep walking and running into stuff :o

lol sleep walking and running into stuff

I do sleepwalk! One of my greatest fears after surgery is to eat something solid on the liquid stage :o

I've been known to make a sandwich (odd ones apparently) while sleep walking.

Example: honey, pickle, and radish sandwich. How did I know? Half of it was on the counter when I woke up in the a.m and my mouth tasted like a bee got into a fight with a garden. Ugh!

Too funny.

I was on a sleeping aid that, unbeknownst to me, could cause sleep walking.  WELL!  One morning I awoke to find sugar free/flour free peanut butter cookies on my counter. Apparently, I had been SLEEP BAKING!  Never took that pill again. LOL

OMG at least you were making them healthy LOL

Haaa!  I know, right?  And it didn't look as though I had eaten any.  Just baked them. LOL

My doctor FREAKED when he found out that I did that, took me off them immediately and told me to tell my boyfriend to lock the bedroom door. hahaha

Send some my way post op pleazy!

I'll do one better - I'll share the recipe! lol
