Surgery went well, laying in bed half asleep. I already took my first walk to the nurses station and back and my room is towards the end of the hall. I dont have much pain, just the incision on the left hurts. Im trying to stay more awake so i don't use drugs as much. Cant eat anything just sucking on a little ice cube once an hr. My mouth is super dry. I think its a mental thing, im not hungry but if i would be told that i can eat i would.

Good Luck in your weigh loss!

You will feel pain when not taking the pain meds or when the meds start to wear off which is usually after 3 hours, but be strong its only the first few days. I remember that when I was in pain from not being able to pass gas while in the hospital I had thoughts of regret of getting the surgery, but would remind myself it would soon pass and I would feel better. Well here I am on day 8 and 13lbs down already with little to no pain at all. Keep it up!

Thanks guys. Finally at home got discharged yesterday. Definitely less pain today, easier to sit and stand up except when i try to get out of bed. Haven't used any pain meds today . Ive been trying to finish this 1/2 cup of yogurt for the past 40 min but i think im going to leave it for lunch. Im afraid to get on the scale still cuz when was in the hospital i was 5 lb heavier. Hurts to cough

Same here. I had mine on the 20th. The pain isn't horrible. I do find myself needing a pain pills by mid day. I'm severely struggling with the Protein shakes. I can drink Water fine. Just not much of it. The shakes gross me out completely post surgery. Since Wednesday I'm down 9 pounds. I feel weak and have the complete and utter desire to eat. Eat anything! -Something. It's the strangest feeling. The only word I have for it is: overwhelming. Someone will ask how I feel... I tear up, wanting to cry! I have no desire to speak words out of my mouth, it's like it is a hassle. Surely this will all pass...

Sleeved on the 18th. Everything is going well however I'm still swollen at the top incisions and some discomfort on the left side.

I feel ya, i would feel good and all the sudden in the middle of the day i would be in a lot of pain. My incisions are getting better they still kind of itch, but i guess they are healing. Last night though I almost fainted, i found my self in a cold sweat thinking i am going to throw up, but i laid down drank a sip of Powerade and it made it better. Im sick and tired of this liquid diet, i haven't had too many Protein shakes... I usually do greek yogurt or chocolate pudding. Got myself some panera Soup 1/4 cup is not too much in calories. Im not hungry, sometimes i have to make myself eat. I think I'm down 15 lb today is my 1 week post op, i have my dr. Apt tomorrow, but i can tell in my clothes that i have lost some weight. Hang in there it's worth it! There was a time in the beginning when u wanted this for many different reasons keep thinking of that time. It gets better!
