I was in a lot of pain for 2 wks. It was horrible to force myself to walk. I get jealous when I hear people say the surgery was nothing lol......I guess everyone is different or I am just a big baby as well :-)

SIX HOURS!!! WOW The car killed me after surgery. I was pretty ok otherwise but the car just made me feel awful. I was off pain meds for a week but at my two week appointment I needed them again.

Good Luck to you! It will get better.

Don't feel bad my pain was minimal but I had no energy to walk much less take a shower. I remember getting out of the shower and just feeling drained. My energy was flat lined! So I didn't walk walk walk. Your probably sleeping a lot because of the pain meds. I didn't really walk much at the hospital the meds kept me out. So I stopped them on day 3 at home.

Everyone's experience is different take your time and heal! :)

      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.
