Hi Everyone,
I'm new to this but I thought maybe you all could help me out.
I was sleeved on May 9, 2011 so I'm 4 weeks out and I'm still in pain on my right side. Mainly from the main surgical site the Dr took my tummy out from. I still have to hold my tummy up to walk around, to allievate the pain I feel.. I have not take pain meds since my first week home, and really don't want to take them either.
Since surgery I have only lost 18 pounds. Have not lost anything all of last week. I guess the dreaded 3 week stall...
I'm getting enough fluids in, I'm not yet up to 80grams of Protein, just can't fit that much in yet, but I'm now averaging 45 to 60 grams, so I'm getting there.
I want to start walking and get in some exersize, but I'm just in way to much pain, even taking a shower causes me a great deal of pain that I need to rest afterwards.
Did any of you experiance this pain so many weeks out and do you have any ideas on how I can heal faster?
Thanks so much,
Kim
