I am 3 weeks out of surgery. Last night I woke up in the middle of the night with lower left back pain. I thought it might be my kidneys but my PCP couldn't find anything concerning in my urine sample. Anyone else have these issues?

How can you tell if you are constipated if you are still passing gas? I Am having pain in my mid to lower left abdomen. Could this be constipation and I not know it? I really don't know what it could be.

6 days out and I can't even get 2 protein drinks or yogurt in a day. I am trying but by the afternoon I don't feel good at all for the rest of the day. Then today I started diarrhea. This sucks. Any suggestions?

Thank you everyone for your kind comments and helpful thoughts. I ended up with an IV this afternoon which made me feel a whole lot better. Tomorrow I will head to the stores to collect some protein to start incorporating. Thank you so much.

I am still on clear liquids. What can I have that has protein?

Does chicken broth have protein?

I am still just sipping. I did get a regular Powerade and mixed with water. I really hope it helps.

Would Powerade help?

Am 3 days post op and woke up sweaty and shaky and weak. What can I do to feel better? Please help!

I went in for my sleeve 2 days ago...and ended up with the plication instead. I don't know why I changed my mind last minute but I feel more comfortable with the decision. But I can't help feeling like a failure...like I chickened out or something.
