Every time I drive I am in so much pain!! I was fine all day today, and as soon as I get in the car to take my daughter to the movies I'm sore! By the time I got home and went to get out of the car it felt like day one! It eases up and goes away eventually, but I'm starting back to work tomorrow and I'm not looking forward to driving! Anyone else have this? Maybe I should try and change my position some.

Wow this makes sense as to my pain and my stomach being dented!!! It has gotten better, but still have some pain for sure when I move certain ways! Can't wait until it goes away! I'll be two weeks post op on Tuesday!

Oh please tell me this gets better!! I'll never get all of my fluid and food in!

Thank You!! I was sleeved on June 25th! I was doing really well with getting my fluids and Protein in, but this pain makes me not want to drink anything! Ugh guess I better get over it! Maybe the more I drink the better it will get!

They have been great on the full liquid phase! I'm a vegetarian so I had veggie and bean curd soup and today I had seafood soup! The seafood soups is wonderful! It's a clear broth, but full of veggies and seafood! I think I'm going to purée the seafood and put it back in since I can handle cream soups just fine! Great protein I'm sure!! Oh it even has egg whites!

Oh and I just puréed the seafood and put it back in the soup! Perfection!!!!

Why do some things go down so well and others cause so much pain! I seem to tolerate warm liquids better! Water causes me the most pain! Weird huh?

Well I guess the new term for me would be pescatarian! I don't eat any land animals! Funny that they have a name for that now! Usually when I say I'm a vegetarian people say "do you eat chicken"? Haha

Isn't it so weird that once we put something IN the water it goes down easier? Haha

I'm 10 days out and still have a area in my stomach that hurts! It has gotten much better and I am finally able to get up and down and wipe myself! Haha just hang in there! I made the mistake of thinking because it was laparoscopic it would be easy! Remember we did have most of our stomach removed!!!!!

When I get up and try to get a shower or anything for that matter I get sweaty and lightheaded! Any thoughts? I'm 8 days post op! Low blood sugar maybe?

I think maybe I'm not walking enough! I am going to push myself a little harder with the walking! It may make all the difference.

I'm going to do just that tomorrow!!!! I can't sleep, it's hard to get up and down! Ridiculous! Oh and did you notice that there is much more food commercials in them usual these days? Haha

I was so excited about this surgery! I had it on Wednesday and I've been in pain and miserable since!! I'm totally doubting my decision now!! Is this normal? I am getting my fluids down really well! I'm wondering, could I be going through a food mourning of some type? Being that it was such a huge comfort in my life and now I can't eat anything and will never be able to pig out again!!! It will be a good thing I know, but has anyone else had this feeling of regret right after??!!

Lucky on the pain meds!! They only gave me 30 pills and they were 2 every 4 hours! That only gets me about 3 days, but I did stretch it! I'm out now and still sore as hell! Oh well this too shall pass!

We are here for you!!!
