Having a bad day im still in quite alot of pain in my left side feels like everything is all twisted and bunched up in there and it hurts not like excruciating pain but enough to take meds and its not constant but again enough to limit my activity drastically im 10 days post op and everyday is better than the day before but not as good as id hoped for and not as good as alot of you are doing .....i try walking more because everyone keeps saying walk walk walk it helps bit i try and the pain gets so bad i have to sit down ....tonight we took our daughter to the park and i walked downstairs out to the car from the car to the park and walked around while she played for about 20 minutes or so then had to sit then walked for about 5 min and back home we came cuz im in pain <img src='http://www.bariatricpal.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' /> any suggestions? ??

To me that sounds like a good workout considering you Are only so many days post op. we are eating so much less and our bodies still need time to heal. I think that is what your body is telling you and I think you're doing great!

I am 13 days post op and feel the same way you do:). Trying to listen to my body but I totally get that it is frustrating;)

So, had my surgery on Thursday, April 25th and I'm waiting to be discharged from the hospital. I can't believe I did it... I was so sick and upset the morning of surgery I even threw up from my nerves... I've been sipping Water and warm broth...it seems i can't tolerate very cold fluids right now, only warm goes down well... but wow, what a weird feeling that first sip was! And the gurgling! Im glad to finally be on the losers bench!

Congrats! Warm stuff was definitely easier for me the first few days, but after that temp wasn't too much of an issue

I just wanted to say thank you to whomever made the suggestion about the Popsicles at Walmart. They are amazing and $2 for a bag of 12.
