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.

      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?

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
