I had my surgery 3 weeks ago. It's been rough. Not able to eat anything but jello, popsicles and the occasional bit of yogurt. Protein is tough too but I am trying. I've lost 47 pounds (surgery weight was 264) which seems fast. I'm taking all of my vitamins and actually went back to work on Monday. I worked at my desk, took it slow, no big flights of stairs on both Monday and Tuesday. I even left a bit early. Tuesday night I began having excruciating pain in my upper right side. I couldn't sleep and getting up was near impossible. The pain moved into my legs for a few hours as well which was very scary.

Weird thing is that I could have sworn on Tuesday at my desk I felt a popping in that same area, almost like a snap or an electric shock. I stayed home today but the pain is even worse. No fever. No vomiting. I don't want to be a wuss but it seems odd that 3 weeks out I would develop the worst pain yet.

Am I overreacting? Any recommendations?

When I was still it was not bad. Movement was unbearable.

UPDATE: my boyfriend literally made me stay in bed all day today, I only got up to go to bathroom. I know it's not good to not move around, but I figure I'm not going to get a blood clot in just 1 day. He also made me stay ahead of the pain, and had me take roxicet even when I was feeling OK... Now- moving around the house I'm essentially pain free!!! I'm hoping it stays that way I may have just overdone myself at the gym the past few days...

Thanks for all the well wishes!
