I guess I should have clarified that when I went to the gym, I only did some swimming and walking. I've been told not to lift anything over 10 lbs at this point. I guess I do need to slow down though since my body is protesting.

Hi everyone! I'm new here and I'm so glad I found this forum. I'm doing pretty well so far since my surgery on March 19th. My spirits are good, I'm down 20 lbs and I'm tolerating most foods now but avoiding all those things like rice and bread that I'm not supposed to have. However, I have this awful burning sharp pain just to the right of my belly button that extends across the front of my belly. Some days I'm fine but other days like today, I can barely walk. I think I aggravated it last night at the gym so it hurts pretty bad today. I can't bend over to pick things up and getting in/out of the car hurts as well. Is this normal? I thought I'd be over the pain by now. Thanks! ~Kim
