Hi everyone, just recently had my gastric bypass by the wonderful Dr. D, and still coming to terms with the food situation. Does everyone go through a period of pain every time they eat or drink anything or is it just me. As far as I know I am following all the rules, eating slowly, small amounts (still on baby food) drinking small sips etc but still get pains. Any more help out there?

Hi Elly

That doesn't sound right to me - you shouldn't be feeling any pain. I would give Dr D a call and see what he says or go and see your GP. I certainly didn't feel any 'internal' pain afterwards - just full within 5 seconds.

Good luck and keep us posted!

Where did the other half of me go?

Hi Elly. I did have times that I had some discomfort and low grade pain later on when I started the more dense foods but not so much before. Early out most of the pain was from gas not really related to food. I would call your doctor and let him decide if he is concerned at all.
