I just had the gastric bypass on 10/15 I have not been in any pain at all to where I would need pain medication. I have been getting my walks in and I have been doing my best to get waters and Proteins in per day. I came home with a drainage but I get that out on 10/26. I can honestly say it was easier than I thought it was going to be .

I had my surgery October 8th. I'm 16 days post op & my left side hurts so bad I can't stand up for more than a few minutes before I need to sit, let alone go for a walk! I'm usually a tough cookie, but I'm feeling like a complete wimp. Anyone else have this much pain after surgery or is it just me?
I'd call your surgery team to ask because that sounds pretty extreme to me.

10/29 is so close now. Plus I really like the little quote for the day. Adjusting my sails is absolutely right.

First time posting on here. I had my surgery October 8th. I had bypass surgery and as far as pain goes it was so much better than I thought it would be. But, I am definately having some head hunger. I can't stop thinking about everything I wish I could eat again. Last night I had some mushy cheerios and it may have been a mistake. Today I feel so full and when I drink even a couple sips I feel like i have eaten too much..not sure if this is the beginning of a stricture or if my pouch is just tight today. This is the first problem I have had since surgery so I'm hoping this is just one of those things that happens and I dont need to go to the ER or something.

I had my surgery today. Went in with a severe headache. They gave me double dose Tylenol via IV and tramodol which helped a lot. So far, no pain and no nausea. I’ve walked a few times. I can feel the soreness and a bit of gas in my chest. No problems drinking anything. I hope I continue on like this! I’ll be home tomorrow.

      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.
