Hi. Just curious what was your worst day of pain post-op. I was sleeved yesterday 12/29 and I was sore of course, but day two seems worse like I've been repeatedly gut punched. I know it gets better but I was kinda hoping it would be day by day.

Hi @@Tamiroos,

I'm post-op day 9. I'd say my worst days as far as pain were 2 through 5. I've also been extremely hungry the entire time. Walking really does help. I've been walking 3x a day for about 10-15minutes each time.

Good luck!

About 10days out when the swelling went down, more movement n itching from stitches pulling..had ruptured hernia with surgery so when I thought I felt better..it shot me down a little but keep moving!

I'd say days 2-3. Probably 3 because that was my first full day at home without the glorious IV dropping pain mess into my system. But it really significantly improved every day. Day 10 now and I feel great.

I also got sleeved on 12/29, it's 12/31 at 12:43am here, my first night home. I went to sleep super early because the pain meds made drowsy and I was exhausted from the whole process of spending the night at the hospital! I do miss my pain pump thing they had attached to my stomach.

Honestly it feels like someone took a gun a shot me in the gut. Ugh! Surgery twins OP! Right there with ya!

I got out of bed which was so difficult since my bed is raised, and I had to rush to go pee. Struggling to drink even a fifth of my Propel Water. Took some more pain medicine. Walked around my house a few times to circulate. Tummy still hurts. :S

I also was sleeved 12/29 and came home 12/30. Right as I was leaving the hospital I noticed the pain was getting more intense. I think I stirred it up by getting dressed and all that movement. I asked for another pain pill before leaving. At home I basically sat in the recliner. Thank god I have help because getting up & down hurt bad. Two others I know from our class had theirs a week before and said the pain lessens after day 5.

My neck & back hurt (I'm told it's gas) along with my abdomen, majority of pain on the left side.

I guess we just have to keep at this and it'll pass. Oh boy though does my stomach area hurt.

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
