I am 12 days out and I have an awful sharp pain in my left side, just below one of my incisions. It feels deep inside, not the incision itself. It hurts to cough, bend, and sit. anyone else have anything like this. I'm still on clear liquids, so it shouldn't be the food. Just wondering.

That's normal don't worry I am 3 weeks on Tuesday and I have the same issue .just to be safe call your dr or clinic and see what they say to easy your mind. Plus everyone's busy is different and it could be nothing for me but something for others

I go back to work tomorrow! Yay! Not really! Lol. I am enjoying my vacation. I tried milk on its own last night. It was skim. And I felt like crap! Felt like I had to throw up last night and also still feel like it today. I really hope this feeling goes away in time for work tomorrow! It is driving me nuts!

Yay for November people! It seems like most of you are on protein shakes. I am 5 days post op and just sf jello, sf drinks, broth and sf popsicles. Feeling okay but definitely experiencing the head hunger. Thanksgiving was hard!

Peachee' date=' I hear you! Hope you feel better.

I'm siting here in the hospital after my second surgery. I had an intestinal stricture. What a bitch. I was SOOO sick. Nothing would stay down. Horrible gas pains since nothing would stay down. Feeling better now but wow I wish I hadn't done this over the last 24 hours. Hoping things pick up now.[/quote']

Thanks worm!

I'm so sorry to hear you had a bump along the way! I hope you get to feeling better hun.

Thanks ladies for the well wishes! I'm feeling much better now. My only problem is getting in all the proteins and liquids. My pouch feels super tiny and a shot glass leaves me full for about 20-30 minutes. So it's hard to do the every 15 mins drinking thing. I have my dietician post op appt tues, I'm hoping I can go to puréed foods. It's much easier to get my protein in that way using unflavored unjury. I can tolerate Greek yogurt and mashed potatoes with no problem.

I hope everyone is doing well!

Head Hunger ugh! Love that! I too have that. I actually have to ask myself if I'm really hungry. So weird! I've also been going through a bit of depression but I'm getting out of the house so that helps. My surgery date was Nov 19 and I'm down 20lbs. Getting anything down is really hard. But I'm hopefully and I keep trying:)

Ooooooo I had the exact same issues! Get out and stay busy. It helps. It took a good week to week and a half to kick. Getting back to work helped immensely!

I completely agree kimmy! But the liquid diet was awesome for me. I was losing 3-4 pounds a day but now on puree food so I am losing 1-2 per day. TG and head hunger was HORRIBLE though. I try to flip it around and amaze myself at how much food had taken over my life. I can't believe my portion size now! Unbelievable.

Hello all! Glad to hear we are all progressing. Today I can switch to full liquids. Scared of milk (Stephanie I'm glad you posted that and good luck at work). May try some lactose free protein today. The one I have is very thin.

Glad all of you are losing!!! I'm a week from RNY but only three from my stricture surgery so I still look like a Macy's day float lol!

I don't really have head hunger but I watched my hubby make turkey sandwiches yesterday like my dogs do! :-)

I was lactose intolerant before surgery and after I can have them with no issues the same with before I had to have all gluten free stuff as well again I'm good with it. You might be as well maybe not who knows. Congrats in moving forward .

I have the exact same thing it's super annoying I just hope it's over soon!

I'm wondering if it is where the stomach is? Mine seems more to the right though. Yes it is a deep tissue pain. It's what is keeping me on light meds now.

had my one week appointment today 13 pounds since surgery and 36 pounds from my first appointment. So glad to be on purees now wow that week was hard. Glad to see so many people doing well !
