2 Questions...

[SD__Mini 9]

Hey Guys/Gals! I have 2 questions for this group and would love some feedback. Sleeved May 30th, Start weight 284, Pre-op 268, Today 255.

1. My surgery went perfectly, no vomiting, gas pain bearable, up and waking just fine and have an appetite although significantly decreased. WITH that said however, I am finding it very challenging/confusing to tell when I should stop eating. Let me clarify: I eat some Soup (maybe 120cc's so not much at all) and I feel comfortable and then full so I stop. Then all of a sudden I start to feel nauseous out of the blue. I don't throw up and it's controlled with meds given to me by the hospital but I hate feeling that way. It's like I don't feel like I'm eating too much at the time but then it hits me? Is this normal? Anyone understand what I'm talking about? This doesn't happen with all liquids, mainly Soup, milk etc (but not yogurt?!).

2. Today was my first day out of the house! My fiancé and I went furniture shipping for our July move. Well long story short we need a new mattress and while I was testing one out, I must have sat up too quickly, but all of a sudden I got a very sharp sudden pain in my left upper quadrant of my stomach (under my ribs on the left side). Now I am very sore in that area and when I move a certain way it is very painful. Maybe I just tweaked a muscle or a bruise or one of my incision sites? Obviously if the pain keeps up ill go see my doctor but just wondering if anyone has any insight.

Thanks for all of your time in advance and congrats to everyone on their own journey's!

Thats exactly what happened to me! Same spot...I guess thats where they cut the muscle.. I turned and got up to fast, (I wasn't having any more pain by then) its been 1 week and the pain is not getting better... I asked my dr during my post op on Thursday, he said it was normal... I probably pulled a muscle and it should heal on its own, he said give it a couple weeks...
