Hi everyone first time poster here. I come out of surgery last Saturday, so I am on day six. I am feeling a little worse for ware today. I got a nasty running-stitch just above where you would normally get a stitch just under my bottom rib. I called the doc and she said it’s gas pain. Never felt gas in this way so just a bit questionable. also feeing like I got acid reflux in my throat, this is without eating or drinking - for example I woke up all through the night and this morning feeling the same way. So not sure why I am getting that also. You people are the ONLY people o have told that I have had this done, no family or friends know about this either as I felt I didn’t want them to look at me and think “he has lost loads of weight but it doesn’t count as he cheated” is this just me feeling like they wanted to keep it private? This is damn hard!!!! Yesterday was difficult as i started to crave food for the first time (day 5) anyway I just wanted to say hi in desperation to tell someone lol and yes doing this a few days before Xmas day was not my greatest of ideas but I’m sure you all going back in time we’re all so excited that when you got your date you didn’t care what event was coming up after Regards Lee

Thank for all your replies. I hope it does as I’m sat rocking here in agony even with gripe water and liquid paracetamol you know us men are usually pansies when it comes to sickness and pain but this is seriously horrific

I would never lie to people who ask... I’m dieting (fact) ... very difficult (fact) ... smaller portions (fact) ... I don’t know, I may tel them I’m still undecided. I’m actually not a big guy. I am only 17.3 stone 245 lb ish and now down to 16.4 this morning I am a type 1 diabetic and has bad news on a checkup about my eyes so that freaked me out and took this procedure to limit my food intake (carbs) and avoid a lot of sugar/carb absorption from my food. I could have just dieted for life but I have incredibly bad will power. Hands up I admit it. But I want to keep my sight. I did this 10% vanity... 40% help general diabetes... 50% keep my vision. in that respect I don’t mind telling friends and family, but I have a very judgemental family which is preventing me. The doc has giving me those ant acids tablets that melt into a weird texture in your mouth for a month.l and I take gripe water. If it is gas then so be it but it is not a pleasant feeling not something I’m used to. I’m usually on a normal day a gassy man 😛 but as I said this sucks and is painful

I had my RNY on 14th dec (2019) all went well and I was out after two sleeps the fact that Christmas is coming up is very difficult seeing all of those adverts on TV with all that delicious food LOL if you’ve had your operation since you have posted them stay strong over Christmas as I know it makes it even harder With all of that visual temptation Lee
