I am 3 weeks post op and have the same thing. It's because the main part of the surgery is on the left side. Dr said to use a heating pad to help ease some of the discomfort.

I was told by my dr/ hospital before and surgery NO swallowing pills for 8 weeks after surgery (RNY) because they didn't want them getting caught or plugging up new pouch. So I would check with what your dr recommends.

There are some great ideas, Recipes on Pinterest. Just search under Bariatric recipes and they have all kinds of ideas for all the stages we slowly work through. Just a suggestion for you to try, hope it helps some [emoji262][emoji260][emoji262]

Hang in there, I am 6 days post-op and I am to still having some left side stomach pain. Dr office said we all heal different and the scar tissue is forming inside and feels real tight and sore, this will lesson in time. I just keep focusing on the positives, how quickly the changes are happening already. I feel better everyday that's the important thing! Hang in there girl, we all feel your struggle and we are here when you need reassurance for this struggle. [emoji847][emoji39][emoji847]

Made it through my surgery did good. Came home on Saturday evening, just some discomfort in my left side. Taking small amounts of pain meds to control the side pain. Doing great so far...[emoji39]

I would say you need to contact your nutritionist about what is going on, so they could give you some options to try. Meeting your nutritional needs is very important in this process, it may just take more time. Your body and mind are going through huge changes. Hang in there and take good care of your self.
