I'm 4 weeks post-op and sometimes have a stabbing pain under my left rib cage after eating. My port in on my right side. Any thoughts?

I had that when I ate too much or a little too fast... But it could also just be a gas bubble stuck in that area... You might try stretching .. It went away for me over time

I had the same pain earlier this week. I thought it was gas. I'm 2 weeks post-op.

I'm a bit over two weeks post op and I get that too. I was wondering as well - I think I may be eating too much at once, perhaps? A couple times for sure it was gas, other times I think it's me eating too much. Ah, this is such a learning process.

Gas could be to blame! It's usually the ugly culprit of most of my aches and pains. I am a faithful gas x user and it keeps troubles away!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
