I'm 4 days post op and having chest pains below my sternum. In the beginning it was very sharp and all the time no matter what I was doing, but very short maybe lasts 5-30 secs at most. Now it's less, still sharp, still short, but has started happening when I'm drinking or eating Jello too. Any ideas?

Trapped gas? Doing lots of walking?

If it doesn't resolve itself soon you may want to chat with your medical team.

You gotta get the bubbles out - Move MOVE move - You can borrow Winston he will walk your ass off - The more you move the more you get the carbonation out. Picture you insides like a glass of soda you have to shake all the little bubbles out

...you *may* be drinking/eating too fast. Try going slower?

Yes, eat slower and walk walk walk! But it is always best to get it checked out too if you think it could be anything other than gas or eating that is triggering it.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
