For me generally mid-back pain is referred epigastric pain. But I'm sure it's variable for everyone! I hope it doesn't stick around! ♥️

Yes! I so agree! I've been adding flavourless protein and Benefiber to one meal replacement shake and soup per day. I figure that will help- considering I'm not consuming all of them anyway. 😅 But it's such a riddle- I think we are so used to the signals our bodies send us, and suddenly we're getting different signals- and everyone is getting slightly different signals- what do they meannnn? 😂😭

Goodness, that is scary! Will you present to the ER if it keeps up?

Let us know how you go when you check in with your team?

My question for the group! Pain: for me has been very much like GERD, I'm fine when I wake, but standing and starting the day is not fun, then I'm on a constant battle- it hurts if I have too much, it hurts if I have to little, it hurts if my stomach is empty. I have a lot of radiating back pain, which I am assuming is just referred pain- But I suppose I'm looking for insights to shared or similar experience? I'll be asking my doc, and I'm trying not to worry about it, but also.. worrying is my side hustle. 😂

I would contact your team. For me they were 'normal' coloured and firmer than usual. A little different in colour I think is not out of the question, neither is loose- and dark might just be iron supplementation, but it can also be an indicator of something more serious- definitely worth checking in with your team to make sure it's all ok! Let me know how you go?

Hi! I had my surgery on the 16th of October Australian time, so the 17th for a lot of the rest of the world! I'm a week out today. I'm adapting well, to the shift in liquid diet for someone who forgets to eat all the time! I still have a lot of pain that feels like GERD/reflux pain, but it's not unmanageable. I see the GP (not my usual, she's on holiday, but I'll be so jazzed to see her and show her my scars!) on Wednesday to get my incisions checked out, but they feel totally fine. I have been a little bummed that I got the illusion from social media that recovery would be a breeze. 😂 How is everyone else doing? Recovery-wise or in anticipation? I can't wait to get to know you all!
