Hurts so bad to move or sit up. Ugh. Had surgery at about 730 this morning. My whole right side of my stomach kills. :(( hope its better in the morning.

Were you guys in lots of pain the day of surgery?

I would say yes, but i slept through most of that day and I was heavily medicated while I was awake so I don't really know... It stands to reason I was though...

Yes!!!! I was out of it for 2 days....my best friend told me I called on the Lord 2x's, asking him to take the pain away. I didn't want to be bothered!!!

It will get better...my surgery was 4/30 and I remember having regrets cuz the pain & gas was so bad but that was the morphine talking.

2 weeks later no regrets

YES I hurt to. They do alot of work in little holes. Just think how bad it hurts when you cut your finger. Your tender stomach was cut on. The pain may come and go also.

I had tons of pain.....I made sure to tell the nurses and doc. be your own advocate....tell them you need more. they will give it to you. they had me hooked up to morphine...which only helped for a few minutes so I told them I needed more and they ended up giving me another med to go with it which was a dream. you heal the best when you are not tensing with pain....plus you are more willing to get up and move around when you are not in pain (which also promotes healing) so they are happy to help you. good luck....it does get better though....PROMISE!!! :D

I was very lucky.. had my op at 8.30am last thurs 10th may.. by 2pm i was up walking around going to the bathroom on my own ect.. but prob because of the pain meds lol,, day 2 they removed iv and only gave me panadol, was a little uncomfortable with gas, but again walked to go for my leak test,, was going nuts because i thought i should have been in so much more pain and asked if they were giving me something more than panadol for pain.. they wernt.. wanted to go home that night but doc wasnt around to release me so had to wait til sat morning.. 8.30am sat morn doc came no more gas pain , he realeased me and i drove myself home,, spent sat / sun resting then felt good enough to do some work (i am a self employed hairdresser) i did have staff to cover me just in case,, so only did a select few customers that are not high demand,,,,however i also know when to rest up so definatly am not over doing it..also wounds a little itchy from healing, , but all in all i feel great,,, thank the lord .. I think everyone has different pain levels too but from what i understand and from friends that have had same surgery it can be really painful.. remember also you have just been sliced and diced and its still early after your op...i hope you start to feel better soon.. sending hugs and prayers that the pain will be gone very soon xxx

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
