I’m in so much pain and have so much pressure mid abdomen right under my rib cage. Has anyone had pain like this? It’s been impossible for me to drink much of anything, even water. Is this normal? Anyone experience anything like this?

Hi. Yes. My first 7 days were difficult but I survived. My pain meds helped a lot

Just posted something similar bc I’m 3 days out and am not meeting any of my nutritional goals [emoji30]

I’m not reaching mine either, water or protein wise [emoji24][emoji36]

I’m 4 days out and it’s been beyond tough as it relates to the pain. I’m not having any issues getting my liquids down but my pain under my right rib cage is more than I ever thought it would be. One day at a time is all we can do. I am down 6lbs though so I know this will all be worth it but it’s definitely no fun. Prayers for all of us.

Walk walk walk. I know they preach it but after having my gallbladder out in April and dealing with that pain, I walked the hell out of the surgical hall during my overnight stay this time. If I was awake, I was doing a lap... or TWO (once I even did 3). So gas pains haven’t been as bad this time around. Walk walk walk

Day 2 and 3 were my worse. My pain is when I sip. It’s right under my breast bone.. right in the middle.

I constantly took my pain meds right on time which limited the pain. I couldn’t keep down the liquid pain meds they send me home with so what I do now is take my Tylenol pills and crush them to a power, mix them with some protein water (2 tablespoons) and slowly get it down. It takes me over an hour to get my crushed Tylenol down but I do it. I feel so much better after my Tylenol kicks in.

Today I’m day 5 and most of that pain is gone. I’m down 7 lbs from surgery day.

We can do this!!

I hope you feel better soon!

sending all of you wishes for speedy recoveries!!!!

I’m 10 days post surgery and feel so much better. I have same symptoms, hurt even more when I was laying on my back, but trust me it does get better! It takes you so long to swallow all because your stomach is very swollen insides. Before when I drank it felt like needles. Just be patient! Every week you will feel better than before
