Hi all, So far I've had a very easy recovery, but I have this little pain on the left side of my belly that is still there. Is this normal. I'm also still very tender on my tummy. Can someone please let me know if this is normal?

I'm so scared but somehow I'm just going through all the motions and not stopping. I'm on day 7 of the pre-op diet and it's much easier now that my caffeine headache is gone (2 straight days of it). I keep second guessing everything that I'm doing right now, like I'm making the wrong decision. Anyone else feel this way? I just want it to be over so that I can stop ...
