RaiderRhode 36 Posted February 15, 2023 I had surgery Monday (2/13) and was doing well and got discharged on Tuesday. The pain had been tolerable, so they only prescribed me some light pain relievers. I'm just curious how long the pain/soreness lasts? I can handle it but it definitely puts a damper on things. I'm home from work for the week, and I can take another week off if needed. My biggest thing, as silly as it is, is that I'm a side and stomach sleeper and I can't do that right now lol How long did the soreness last everyone else? 1 DrinkMoreRadium reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
catwoman7 11,220 Posted February 16, 2023 the pain shouldn't last much longer. I didn't have any, but I think for those who do, it lasts a few days. I'm a side sleeper. It's been a few years, but I think it took about two weeks before I could sleep on my side again. 2 RaiderRhode and Tomo reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Can I ask how you have been so successful dropping weight already? Is the majority of your 71 pound loss from your pre op diet? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I started my weightloss journey Jan 1 2021, so it's been 2 years of work. I started by cutting out soda and doing some of Chloe Tings youtube workouts at home. I lost 40 pounds there. After that I went into a calorie deficit and lost another bit. My doctor prescribed my Ozempic for weightloss and I lost all but the last 18 which was from my pre op liquid diet. I've actually been stuck at the same weight for the last 5-6 months, which is what pushed me to get the bypass. I'd been going to the gym 4-5 days a week for an hour each and just wasn't seeing any progress on the scale or in measurements. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kheiser67 1 Posted February 16, 2023 I was the same way! I felt super crummy for the first 2 weeks following surgery on 1/11/23. I took 3 weeks off and have finally been feeling myself in the past week. I would recommend taking 3 weeks off if possible. Once you get back on solid food and the gas pain resolves you will feel much better. Take it easy and good luck!! 1 Jmfpeterson reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tomo 1,194 Posted February 18, 2023 I didn't really have any soreness as@Catwoman7 said. I did, however, feel tired, probably due to lack of calories for the first week or so. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
