7 days after bypass

[Terryb]

I'm 7 day post surgery and have followed clear liquid diet and even gained 1 pound. Also belly swollen. I also have back pain almost always.
Anyone else experience this and what to do?

Terry I also had the bypass and a hernia repair and my belly was really swollen so that’s normal. I also had back pain and what seemed to help was walking a little throughout the day. Also instead of laying down try to sit up more. It will get better eventually. Also, wear the abdominal binder it helps with the swelling and pain.
