The pain will ease, is it wind that's causing you pain? Because that is very painful, I was on liquids till the end of week 2 then it's mashed and soft diet till week 8-10 so I am half way there.

Good luck with yours and I hope the pain eases soon xx

Hi Stef - Sorry to hear your suffering pain hun x

Did the hospital give you any pain relief to help you over the initial trauma of surgery?

Was it a gastric bypass or a band you had? I imagine with a bypass there would be more pain as it is a much bigger operation, hope you have something at home you could take hun x

If you could walk around slowly and steadily at home, it may help relieve the wind pain.

Don`t forget to drink lots and lots and sip, sip, sip!


Take care hun x







Love Kat x


Hope you soon feel better x

I had a bypass and they did not send me home with any painkillers.

I think the pain is whilst not bad, it feels weird and strange. I know it's early days but I want to feel normal again.

I do have wind but it does not appear to be trapped it coming out!!!!!

I am surprised they didn't give you any pain relief I had liquid morphine which I didn't need or use I also had codeine and paracetemol, take whatever painkillers you have and call your team when you can.

I hope you feel better soon xx

I am only 12 days post op, So I remember the feeling well!

The pain and discomfort went by day 7 for me.
The only pain I have now is if I accidently roll on my tummy while asleep.
I took soluble paracetamol for the first week. That helped lots!
Hang in there, It gets better before you know it.
