Hi all I am relatively new here and I've got quite a few questions!

My story

I've been heavy all my life and I've had diabetes and high blood pressure for over 5 years now so I decided bypass surgery was my only option since nothing else seemed to work. I'm 25 years old , pre-surgery weight 258 and I'm one week post op. I'm not extremely hungry but I have been having serious cravings for food that I generally never eat? Has anyone else had these cravings? I'm just so worried that ill eat things again that are not healthy craving hot dogs and burgers :-( idk but after having this surgery I am realizing the relationship that I have with food is so unhealthy... Maybe I haven't had a chance to grieve the loss of food yet... I just can't stand these cravings.., Also I've still got alot of pain in my left side ... Every time I move to sit or stand its like someone is punching me in the kidneys??? Is this normal? Any and all advice is helpful!!

I am only 12 days out from my RNY surgery & I have been having pain too on both sides. Not just soreness but pain. I called the specialists who did my surgery & they said "that's normal". I then went to see my gastro doc & he was concerned enough to order a CT scan for tomorrow. I still have my gallbladder so that might be the culprit. Anyway, pain is something that needs to be treated no matter what. ASK for something for the pain - suppositories are excellent in that they don't upset the tummy. Best of luck!
