So, where were you sore after surgery? I have pain right in the middle über the rib age. You know, if you drew a line from one nipple to the other, my sore spot would be in the middle of that line, about 1 inch down. Is that normal? Is that my pouch?

I feel like my insides have been ripped out. My surgery was Wednesday. Doing a little better today..

ouch. I'm sorry.

Yeah Jackie know that feeling well I'm just 12 days out. I felt like a Mac truck ran over me! It really really does get noticeably better each day. Didn't take any additional pain med outside of the morphine

Oops sent to quick... Afraid of stomach getting sick. Everyday better and better. That right side stays sorer longer but even that's been better . Good luck hang in!

I do have a question for anyone. I just ate a hardboiled egg and put in a bit of LF mayo to make wet and I chewed even tho I mashed it well. That was about an hour ago . How long does it take after eating something that you'll realize that the food isn't going to stay down? Immediately or sometime later?

Usually if food isn't going to stay down you know pretty soon after eating. Papaya Enzyme helps with digestion and breaking foods down. I have used it when food has upset my stomach and if something gets stuck. I also have Zofran sublingual for nausea as since surgery I have bouts of it. This is another miracle drug.

Everyday gets better the first week was rough. My pain was worse on the left upper side as this is where they used the heavy equipment for surgery. I got my stitches out 13 post op and after that I was good as gold. I am 10 weeks out eating regular food and doing awesome. So happy that I had this surgery.

You give me hope! I called the nurse and asked if it was normal and she said it was. Now I'm just disappointed in myself for not losing anything.

I gained 10lbs in the hospital! How the heck did that happen?

It's the air and swelling... You'll lose it pretty quick. And then some! Had my RNY march 25 and since coming home on the 27th, I've lost 11 lbs

That's normal, you have been pumped with IV fluids. It will come off in a couple days.

I had my surgery March 26th and I also gained 10 ponds while in hospital. It's all the fluids. I have already lost that 10 and an additional 14. So no worries. I agree the pain is no joke. I had my gall bladder out as well so I am still slow going
