Thank you I hope this left side pain goes away. I'm a side sleeper and I have to sleep on my back so my sleep cycle sucks.

Omg I was the same we had to go buy a recliner the first night back from the hospital it’s no joke you can’t sleep in bed. Unless you have a incline bed base. I tried pike the pillows and bought more nope nothing worked.

Now I live in the recliner in a giant pillow nest it’s a super wide and comfy one.

RNY on June 27th, terrible left side pain and was also sent home with a drain which is gross. Can’t really get comfortable in any position. My daughters went to a grad party today that was catered by olive garden, the host sent them home with 25 breadsticks, a large pan of fettuccine alfredo and a dish of marinara sauce. How sad is it that I was heartbroken, I wanted that food more than the surgery I was just blessed to have. This is going to be a wild journey.

Hang in there it will get easier. The best thing I can suggest is eat your meal with others around you. So when they are eating you are to. Much easier. If they have fettuccine Alfredo then you fix something like fettuccine cauliflower pasta. It does get easier.

Hey guys so week1 postop I lost 10lbs and this week just 1lb. Weird and hoping more comes off. Still trying hard to get all my fluids in but so hard when I cant drink around eating time. Struggle is real. How is everyone else doing?

Hi! So we're in July and we've officially all made it through our surgeries! PHEW & YAHOO! I lost 12 on pre-op, gained 10 in hospital and then lost all that plus 4 more by the time I reached today (1 week from surgery). So, I'm down a total of 16. Eating and drinking is near impossible. I'm getting hardly anything in because I'm so full. I'm sure every day will get better. CONGRATS to all!

I’m doing great! Scale isn’t really moving but my clothes are getting a little looser and I get in all of my protein every single day. How are you?

Hey there. Tomorrow will be 3 weeks and down 14 lbs. Tolerating food well so far, no nausea or vomiting. Trying to get protein and fluids in. Still occasional incision pain on either side but taking it day by day!

I have that side pain too I think ice helps (I press in on the muscle that is cramping not too hard but it helps the spasm. I have to sleep on the couch with my head and upper body angled up or a reclining chair for that reason. You are not alone. I hear it will pass just not sure when. Doctor said that pain is normal because they put a long straw like tube in there during surgery and move it all around. It upsets muscle and nerves. It should get better. Heat might help too. Hang in there June bug

Nice to hear everyone's updates on here. Sounds like we're all losing, trying to keep hydrated and dealing with the left side pain. Every day gets better! I'm wearing a dress today to work. It's been like 9 or 10 months since I've worn a dress. I feel great (aside from a kidney stone that I'm trying to pass).

Hi all from down under. Doing well here. Left side is still niggling at me, but has eased considerably. Still not getting all my fluids in. Handling the food. Moving onto soft foods today. Losing weight, at least .5kg a day, but told that it should only be 1kg a week. So hope I am not losing muscle as well. It is meant to be a slow progress. Stalled for 3 days on 100kg, when I so wanted to get below. Now below at 97.6kgs. My only problem is I haven’t done number two for a few days, so now adding benefibre to cereal and taking softener. Not sure if this is why I have a little pain in back. Haven’t needed any diabetic meds since op. Glad to hear others are progressing reasonably well.

For sure take those softeners!! It won't do you any favors to be constipated. I had a little set back over the weekend with a stomach bug or something. I had to get some IV fluids to catch up, but otherwise all is well.
