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.

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...

[bgood597 27]

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:)

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

[Olarance75 215]

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

[bgood597 27]

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.

[LoryLosesXS 154]

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.

All the time now that I am on puréed food, ugh!

[birdmadgirl 154]

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.

[bgood597 27]

I am so hungry!
