I'm about 7 weeks post op now and I just started getting a small like stabbing pain in my stomach, only when I eat or drink. Is this normal? I'm eating all thinks I should be (I'm on an unrestricted diet) I'm chewing well, taking small bites, etc. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App I should add the pain goes away shortly after as well Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I went to work 1 week after surgery which was yesterday, I do have a desk job though! I start nursing school up again on Monday with clinical a beginning next Tuesday (8/30) I hope it goes well! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I am currently 7 days post op and on full liquids. Before the surgery I had a 10 day all liquid diet. I am craving real food that I can chew anything any everything Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I am currently 6 days post op. I really try to only take pain meds before I go to bed, but my right side (where my stomach was removed through) is in worse pain then it originally was. I can only lay in one position to not be in pain. If I sit or move in any direction while standing its a deep burning pain. Is this normal? Would a heating pad help?

This morning, 4 days post op, I weighted in at 297.5. That's the first time I have been under 300 lbs in about 4 years. My highest weight, when I began pursuing WLS was 328 and the day of surgery I was 304. I couldn't be more excited!

I had my surgery on Friday, and overall I feel great. But I have horrible gas pains still. I've been walking and I have the gas x strips, any other suggestions?

Thank you both! I was adding red crystal light to my water so that's probably the issue.

There's a facebook support group I'm part of its BP august 2016, i just joined but it seems great so far... all people who are getting surgery this month. Mostly sleeve

I'm the 12th! Sent from my SM-N910V using the BariatricPal App

Surgery is more dangerous for people with kidney problems because of the anesthesia. The anesthesia is excreted from the body through the kidneys, if they aren't working properly it's not excreted well. This is something you would definately want to speak with doctor about.

I have never had a problem with acid reflux previously, but I am currently on day 6/10 of my pre op all liquid less than 800 calorie diet and I am now experiencing it. Has this happened to anyone else? Sent from my SM-N910V using the BariatricPal App
