Had my sleeve done 2 days ago and I am sore everywhere head to toe. I can barely eat a spoonful without being stuffed to the point of pain. Please tell me this is normal for 2 days out?

Yes... Very normal. And you are probably going to regret your decision to have the surgery before you start feeling better. The first month was horrible for me but once you get through it... And you will... You'll be fine. Good things are ahead for you. Good luck!!! :)

Some people will have an easy time with this and some won't. I was really miserable for the first 5 days, and I didn't do too much activity for the first month. I was feeling pretty good by the start of the 2nd week though. The pain was horrible for me too on the 2nd day. I just kept drinking the pain reliever to keep me knocked out and I sipped on Water as much as possible. Otter pops helped a lot. Just having the flavored ice in my mouth for taste and coolness was good. You do need to remember to move around and don't let the pain keep you in bed. Blood clots are something to be afraid of at this stage.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
