I'm one week out of surgery and I'm having pain by my rib on my left side has anyone felt that?

Sounds like trapped gas.

I will be glad when I can eat regular food again! Ugh!

Me too, day four of post-op and have spent three days in hospital counting the surgery day. I just feel so much better now. Gas is still here but, nothing like it was. Everyday gets a little better and I'm loving it...

I'm counting the days too. LOL I haven't had too many issues with gas thank goodness. My incisions are itchy but that just means that they are healing. Haven't been in hardly any pain. I am blessed. Now I'm just waiting for this whole thing to be over so I can get back to being normal. I'm losing weight but I don't know how much. Haven't weighed myself yet. Stomach is still a little bloated but it's going down. I can't wait for the end result.

Honestly, I think that was one of the HARDEST things for me! I was sooo ready to eat. And I didn't have to do a liquid diet before surgery like some people (I don't understand why some doctors made y'all do that). My doc only required liquids only the day before surgery. I'm two days shy of 4 weeks and it's worth it! I can eat now - not much but I can. You'll get there. Hang in there:)

Yes

Does anyone get that feeling like you need to burp while eating but you can't because there is food in the way?

yes...this happens when I'm drinking also

I hate that feeling! I hope it passes soon. I can't deal with that. It used to do that when I would drink. But that passed.

First night in the hospital. I did pretty good. It's hard to do the tiny amount of Water they want me to do. I was so dehydrated. I probably am drinking too much, but I feel fine. I really want to get home so I can rest.

I'm 6 days post op and feeling much better. Had to stay an extra night in the hospital due to high blood pressure. Drinking well and sleeping a lot. Feeling hunger pains though.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
