iv been suggested this site from a friend of a friend and im so greatful as im the only person i know who has had weight loss surgery, meaning im feeling pretty alone when it comes to my emotions and wondering if im going a little crazy but also the practical side of things and having tips ftom people who have been there. My biggest issues at the moment are the pain in my shoulder, i know that im only 2 days post op but please tell me this goes away some time soon!!! Im also having problems sleeping, any suggestions please??

I must admit not beibg able to sleep on my side is hell!!! I was worried in my sleepless state at about 3am this morning that i would never again have a goid nites sleep and it would always feel that im carrying a rock in chest, but great to hear others who have been there and come through the other side!!! Im also glad to report the shoulder pain has gone, yay!!!! Its just the constant feeling of being full on a very small amount of water that is bothering me but im guessing thats just swelling as iv not actually had any fills yet. Anyway all iv managed since my op is water, was anyone else the same as this?

I think iv found the solution for sleep in the form of my sofa. I think as my beds very flat ut was putting pressure on my stomach but being propped up on the sofa is the most comfortable so il stick with that in these early days. Im taking my pain meds at the times iv been told so guess i need to just get in a good routine with them.
