Is this pain normal? Like you I feel as though I have done to many sit ups. Keep asking for pain meds but its not going away :-( they said earlier that I might be able to go home tomorrow, but not sure if I'm ready yet due to the pain. Did others go home with pain? Any help would be greatly appreciated as getting a bit scared that something is wrong. Thank Bx

I feel as though I have done too many sit ups, pain is quite bad and can't get comfortable. Still on pain meds and asking for them regularly. They said I might be able to go home tomorrow, just not sure I'm ready to go home? Did anyone else go home in pain and is this pain normal? Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Bx

It is normal! I had some pretty strong left side pain for about two weeks. It's major surgery. Keep walking when you can, and give it time!

Pain is normal. I was is some pretty bad pain for about a week. It hurt to move, cough, sneeze, laugh... Pretty much anything. Laying down into bed and getting up was the worse. Just keep taking your pain meds and it will pass!! I'm now 3 weeks out and just a tad sensitive in certain spots.

I'm done with surgey. I had a good night, still a little sore. I was really drugged up last night-kept fadibg in n out. I finally woke up, walked around about 1000 last night, work up again at 4 this morning and walked again. I was taken off pain medicine about 1030 n went for 1 more walk. The nurses and dr. Said I was doing fine. My husband came at 1045 and I was discarged at 330. Now I'm in the car waiting for meds at Target. Then I will be home. YAH!

Had my op at about 12.30 yesterday afternoon. It went fine with no complications. Had a rough night been sick due to the pain meds but that seems to be coming under control. Allowed Water and had one cup of tea so far. The pain feels like I have done too many sit ups! Still got drips and drain in but hopefully they will be coming out later.

That sounds tolerable. I go in 7:30 tomorrow morning. I hope I do as well as you.

      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.
