I Can't walk properly and feel terrible... Everytime I move it hurts.... my throat is killing too. How long will it take for things get better? Moving helps right? But it kills whenever I move!:'(

Day 2-4 post op were the worst for me. Couldn't really stand up straight, horrible gas pains, couldn't lay flat, throat was killing me too. Day 3 I was seriously questioning what I had done to myself.

Everyday I would get a little bit better. Week 2 I was doing pretty well, still had some soreness, not pain, but just some discomfort at the port site. My throat still hurt into week 3 though.

Walk walk walk, it hurt in the beginning, but it is so good for you. At first I was only doing 1 lap in my house (only about 50-60 steps), but I would increase a little at a time. Pretty soon I was feeling up to walking outside.

Make sure you are taking your pain meds. I took mine every 4 hours for the first 4 days, then only at night to help me sleep. I was off pain meds by day7 or so.

It does get better, I promise. Everyday you will feel a little better.

It will get better. I was really tight and it hurt really bad when I was sitting or laying down and tried to get up. The sleeping at night was a problem, too. It gets better everyday. After a month all the pain was a distant memory. Just remember you have been cut on and had surgery so it will take time. Try not to focus on the pain...I know that's hard to do. If that's the worst you've got then you've got it made. You will survive and lose weight in the end which is what you did this for.

Hang in there!!!

I'm day 5 post off and it's the first day I feel like a human. Walking helped me. I even got up throughout the night to walk.
