First night was a little rough, but the worst pain for me has been my shoulder. Been resting and walking around my apartment.

Hi! My surgery is set for October 1st. Why the shoulder pain? How have you done with getting in your liquids? Have you had lots of nausea? Congrats on your surgery!!

Hello..@@konalisa80 my surgery is set for next Monday 9/15. Congrats to you on your surgery. Is the shoulder pain from the air that they put into your belly during surgery? Is it a tolerable pain or are you still taking pain meds?

I believe the shoulder pain is gas. It has lessened the more I walk. I'm taking some pain meds at wider intervals today. The pain yesterday and today was tolerable

I was sleeved on 9/3. The only pain I have is around my belly button which is the largest incision. This has been a wonderful experience for me. I was able to get out today and walk around Chinatown. I feel fantastic...just a little weak. I am having a hard time getting all the Protein in, but I keep sipping on the shake! Down 14 pounds but this includes the two weeks of liquids prior to surgery.

I was sleeved yesterday (9/8) and only had mild pain in one shoulder yesterday. Once I was home from hospital I was fine. I need to walk more today but have had no problem sipping liquid and taking medium sized pills.< /p>

I was sleeved on 9 - 4 also when I was able to become concious of my body again the first thing I was able to identify was my shouder blade area. Good GOSH did it hurt. It felt like someone had shot an arrow in it and left it there.

It worked out but I found it difficult to try to walk so medicated. I should of had a plan.

[konalisa80 239]

I've had very little to no pain since day 6!! Just trying to get Protein Shakes in :-( Don't enjoy them lol

[konalisa80 239]

Had first post op appointment today (13 days) and down 14 pounds since surgery. Dr said everything is going good and approved me for next phase of food!
