Can someone tell me what to expect as far as pain the day after and then the next few? I'm getting nervous about what I'm going to do with my dogs! I have 2 small (who will be ok, they can use pee pads) - but I'm fostering 2 golden retrievers who get kenneled and go outside alot when I'm home. I'm hoping I'm not so sore that I can't get up to feed them or let them out.

Other than that, I'm not too anxious. Up until 3/23 I will eat like it's my last supper!

Researching liquid and puree foods to go shopping.

Thanks!

I had nausea from the antibiotic they gave me which made the pain probably seem worse. It was the gas pain everyone talks about. They kept telling me to walk and walk but the hospital I was in was so small there wasn't any where to go. I would just get up and walk in my room. I am 5 days post op and I am taking the pain medication 2-3 times a day. It doesn't hurt when I am just sitting or laying. It's hurts when I drink too fast I will get a little gas bubble. Be careful with your tummy and don't let the dogs jump up on you. Good luck with your journey.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
