A friend of mine suggested drinking the propel water if I was having troubles with regular water because it was not as dense. You may want to give that a try and see if it is lighter on your stomach.

Quite possible. For the first few days, I took sips that were the equivalent of having an ice chip, but lots of them over a period of time. I was scared of taking something too big.
I'm not sure how the feeling is for VSG, but for RNY it feels like a big glob in your stomach but passes on after a little while. It doesn't linger around.

You could also be feeling the nerve endings regenerating in your belly. A few different things. You can ask your surgeon when you see him in your 1 week post-op (provided it's not unbearable pain right now).

hi Becca....this is a similiar thread for you, me and Sian...she did housework too. Yes, I won't tell Karen that I vacuumed although the area isn't very big. When did you start driving? Also, my tummy is burning.....what is going on? I'm 5 days post op, have been only eating the protien shakes, water and popsicles. I am taking the Loratab and the 1 pill per day that they prescribed. I have a lot of gas but no poop yet. I still have the pain going up into the left shoulder but the doc told me that was how the stomach discharges pain since it doesn't have any real pain receptors......ooohhh......this is so exciting,but I miss our other group members....where are they!!!:)D

oh good, I'm glad that someone understands...even the hospital staff kept saying to me"you're a walking machine" and "you must be bored" as I would go out in the lobby and sit and read and then sit down and talk to the nurses.....I think the secret to the good healing is going into FIT and then following the eating orders.....don't ya think? Hope all is well.....how muc have you lost?:)D

I don't know if I can RELAX and do nothing.....I've been up since 5, did 4 loads of clothes, took the dog to the vet(daughter in law drove me), we got popsicles, vacummed the dog room and now I'm wondering what I can do next....sheesh....I don't know if I can do this for 2 weeks....who want to go out for protien shakes???:)D
