You just had major surgery. Yes, things hurt. Like @@ivarae said, do some walking (although it is hard when you're hurting) and take your pain meds. Each day should improve for you. Give it a couple weeks and you should feel much better. I'd say the pain should diminish this weekend.

I hope your feeling better each day. I have been wondering about the pain after the sleeve procedure. I'm expecting pain since its surgery but curious about where the pain is coming from? Is it more abdominal, similar to a laparoscopic hysterectomy or do you actually feel the pain of your stomach being cut?

Maybe both? Not sure why I'm so focussed on this since I have a pretty good pain tolerance, I guess it's just the unknown.

It's definitely different for everyone. I was sleeved on Monday and I feel great. I was driving and took my kids to the dentist (20 minutes away) on Wednesday. Yesterday I spent 4+ hours at a party. I never really had pain, just sore ab/stomach muscles. I have never felt any incision pain. Now at 6 days post-op I feel almost completely normal, there's just very slight discomfort when I get up from the couch due to using those muscles that still aren't 100%.

      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.
