Concerns!

[bostonbritt 15]

Hi I am a 10 days post op and am having a few concerns.

Everyone has been taking about sip sip sip but I have no problem taking full sips should this worry me?

Also I have been walking as much as possible around the block, but I keep getting extremely sore shoulders when I walk. Does anyone know why?

Thanks in advance for your feedback

Hi. I was pretty much like that after surgery - not ever feeling full after my 'sips'. Right around the 2 week mark after my surgery I suddenly felt my 'full' feeling for the first time. It hasn't left to this day. I think sometimes it just takes a while for our stomachs to 'wake up'. That is probably what is happening to you. In the meantime, just be sure to follow your doctor's instructions so you don't unintentionally do harm to your new stomach.

Congrats on having the surgery and good luck on your journey!

Oh, the soreness around the shoulders is from the air they pumped in you to do the surgery. Just keep walking - it will work its way out and one day you will suddenly realize that it is gone...
