Hi everyone. I'm 17 days out from RNY and I'm feeling some pretty intense pain since yesterday after I bent over and felt it for the first time. Its s sharp, stabbing pain, so bad that I can't stand upright. It's not bad when I'm sitting, and I can ease the pain by holding my belly when I walk. I've been reading a lot about it, and sounds like it's a pain caused by a stitch that's pulling or some scar tissue that a may have torn a little. Doc said it's normal and will go away eventually. I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced this before and how long did it last?? Thanks in advance.

I am 9 days post-op and was feeling great until last night, and had a couple "normal" BMs. Last night I took a turn and also have diarrhea now and feel pretty dehydrated and don't want to drink much. I haven't had anything thicker than thin yogurt, so people have been saying "liquid in - liquid out", so I'm assuming we're still adjusting. Try some Gass X for bloating! It helps me

I'm wondering how long people waited to have sex again post-surgery? (My husband is the one wondering more than me...) I know everyone is different, but I'm just curious.

Sorry if it's a strange question, but sex is a part of life!

I am the exact same as you! I'm 7 days out and drank about 7oz of broth last night for dinner. I worked my way up to this, same as you as well. I think when we move to thicker liquids and purée, we will notice a difference again on how much we can tolerate. I think we're right where we should be

Same here. Had my surgery Wednesday and haven't BMd since Saturday. Gonna try Mirilax tomorrow. It's also due to pain killers.

I'm not sure if it's normal or not, but I had one on day 3 and it was diarrhea also, and really dark, like almost black! I have a feeling it's normal as long as you're not in pain and it's not constant. If you were dehydrated, you'd have a headache, dizziness, lethargy...so, I bet our docs will tell us it's notmal

I used nothing that I brought apart from my hairbrush and extension cord for my phone charger. Everything else I just never cared about using or they provided for me, so I just used theirs. I also didn't shower there. Back home in 2 days!
