I'm still in some pain from my incisions and I had surgery 9/19. It is not unusual at all. I can't imagine going back to work three days after, is there a way you can take more time off?

I am in my 4th day post-op from the sleeve and also have quite a bit of pain in my larger incision. I think that's not uncommon, but if it feels warm, becomes red, or you get a fever you should seek medical attention ASAP.

The pain isn't nearly as bad as I thought it would be, but it is still there -- especially if I am not careful about how I sit down and get up.

My biggest issue is that I get really tired pretty easily, but even that isn't as bad as I thought it would be.

I can't imagine going back to work right now. I am not going back for another month plus. It's a full-time job keeping up with what I need to do to be successful (fluids and protein), walking, and keeping up all of these appointments.

I went back to work after four weeks and still had a little pain when I sneezed. Please don't rush your recovery. This is major surgery.

Had my sleeve in the 27th, still having pain near my biggest incision. It gets a little better every day. I can't imagine being back at work yet, still in recovery mode for sure.

I had the same pain. It hurt so bad to move or roll over. It was scary and I thought something was wrong, but it goes away. Mine lasted about two weeks.

      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.
