How long will i be in pain for? Im such a wimp :(

suzi

everyone on the board is different. some people actually have surgery on a friday and go back to work on monday

or they take a week off. - time will vary with all. Some people are tired or hurt from the WLS for a couple of months, not necessarily pain

chose your poison, it all varies from person to person, hope that helps

i didn't take any pain meds when i came home because they never help :angry:

my incisions hurt for about 3 days & especially nights, i had trouble sleeping.

but I was much better then, sleeping on my side with little pain.

like i said, everyone is different

hope you start to feel better

I had my surgery on July 3rd, and home on the 4th. So far, other than a particularly nasty bout of gas, no need for pain meds. In fact, I never even filled the prescription! As many have already said, the biggest problem thus far, has been trying to get the liquids down. Who knew Water could burn??!! It has been 90+ degrees here in NY, and all I want to do is chug some icy cold water....a no-no.

Today,I had a semi-frozen chocolate Protein shake( with black, Decaf coffee added) and it was delicious. I was actually able to drink 120z....woo hooo!

I am three weeks out and pretty much was back to normal at about a week and a half. However, I did have some nerve pain start up at about that time. It is very common and usually lasts about 2 weeks. I don't hurt all the time just every once in a while I get a shooting nerve pain. All that being said, no pain meds since about day 4. Just stay with it, it will get better.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
