Has anyone else experienced a good deal of pain in the two incisions closest to the belly button? I am 4 weeks post op and still have a good deal of pain, today to the point I couldn't walk without holding my stomach for support. Speaking of support any suggestions on supporting the weight of your stomach to prevent it from pulling the incisions?

I am also not losing weight. I gain 3 lbs last week and have not lost them yet. I'm only getting in about 50 - 60 protein because I'm so nauseous. I've lost a total of 36 lbs but gained 3 back since two weeks pre op. I thought I would be down further by now.  I feel so frustrated between the pain and lack of weight loss. Is anyone else out there experiencing these same problems.  Please help!

I'm off for my two week follow up although it's about 3 days early I'm glad to be going in today. Still have the pain in my stomach, but it's a lot better today. Looking forward to getting into an exercise routine. My back is killing me. I was down almost 2 lbs again this morning. Gotta say for once i'm not hating the scale!

Today I see to be feeling somewhat full. I had 10 grams of protein for breakfast and than another 15 for lunch. I just had about 5 grams for dinner, but just not want to drink the rest. I have a feeling of fullness that does not seem to want to go away. More like a feeling of bloat. The one thing I did different today than others is drink about 8 ozs of water, which almost seems worthless unless it's protein water. Can't seem to fit anything extra in the routine.  

I had my surgery 8 days ago and feel pretty good except for 1 pain on the left of my navel. Just seems to keep me down. I'm not losing any weight yet which is disappointing since I'm barely eating anything. I'm trying to keep up with the protein I'm supposed to be drinking, but I'm just not hungry. Today I went for my first walk which felt good except for that one pain. I'm hoping that goes away soon so I can start walking in comfort.

Today is my birthday and I'm so happy I gave myself this present this year. I know it's going to be worth it in the long run. I have lost about 25 lbs so far and already notice a difference in the way I feel which is great motivation to continue pushing myself.
