I am 4 weeks post op and I am never hungry and having a very hard time getting my protein and fluids in. I am to a point where the slightest smell of protein shakes etc make me so nauseated. Very concerned about getting everything in but I can only eat such small amounts. Any suggestions would be much appreciated! I am down 28 lbs so happy with that but really struggling. Best of luck to everyone for great success!

Yes, thank you for reminding about a heating pad. It has helped ease the pain for me but hasn't taken it away but that will hopefully help others too! Thank you

My doctor says it's normal and just healing, I am now 3 weeks post op and still having pain but it is slightly better. You can check with your doctor as some will allow an abdominal binder and that can help a little. I have not been able to sleep in bed and have been in a recliner since surgery. I still have to hold my stomach on left side just to move around and do some normal things. It hurts so much and I have been in tears a few days. I do see a little improvement so there is hope but try to rest and be careful not to over do it! Hope you feel better soon, it's hard but hopefully it will end quickly.

Hi there, I am 2 weeks post op RNY and also have burning pain on my left side. So much that I am as well having to take pain meds and only have been able to get up for showers and short walks. It's awful. I as well thought I would be so much further by now!! Best of luck to all of you and if anyone has suggestions let me know. I have read many people experience this pain and then wake up one day and it's gone! I'm waiting for that day.
