I just had the gastric bypass on 10/15 I have not been in any pain at all to where I would need pain medication. I have been getting my walks in and I have been doing my best to get waters and Proteins in per day. I came home with a drainage but I get that out on 10/26. I can honestly say it was easier than I thought it was going to be .

I had my surgery October 8th. I'm 16 days post op & my left side hurts so bad I can't stand up for more than a few minutes before I need to sit, let alone go for a walk! I'm usually a tough cookie, but I'm feeling like a complete wimp. Anyone else have this much pain after surgery or is it just me?
I'd call your surgery team to ask because that sounds pretty extreme to me.

10/29 is so close now. Plus I really like the little quote for the day. Adjusting my sails is absolutely right.

And Bryce I will be busy tempering the Wind to the shorn lamb! Maybe when this weight descent finishes up I will appear more lamb-like instead of a b grizzled old sheep.

First time posting on here. I had my surgery October 8th. I had bypass surgery and as far as pain goes it was so much better than I thought it would be. But, I am definately having some head hunger. I can't stop thinking about everything I wish I could eat again. Last night I had some mushy cheerios and it may have been a mistake. Today I feel so full and when I drink even a couple sips I feel like i have eaten too much..not sure if this is the beginning of a stricture or if my pouch is just tight today. This is the first problem I have had since surgery so I'm hoping this is just one of those things that happens and I dont need to go to the ER or something.

I had my surgery today. Went in with a severe headache. They gave me double dose Tylenol via IV and tramodol which helped a lot. So far, no pain and no nausea. I’ve walked a few times. I can feel the soreness and a bit of gas in my chest. No problems drinking anything. I hope I continue on like this! I’ll be home tomorrow.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
