Hello,

First, it will get better! If you are in bad pain though, you should call the doc and make sure you are ok

Hope it gets better soon ,,,,take care and keep us posted

I had my surger on 8/19/11...I felt much the same way as you did. About the 3rd day I felt as if I was beat up, then I went back to work on Monday after my surgery which was Friday before. The gas hit my shoulder about 2 pm and I thought I was going to die. I had gas pains in my shoulder all week. Finally, tho it disipated after about 4 days.

I can tell you it does get better. Just go slow, and follow your doctor's directions. Is the fact that you can't sit up due to the incisions or something else. If you think it is something else, I agree, call your doc.

Good luck. Hang in there. Remember, this is a journey, and every journey starts with small steps.

It will get better do not dwell on how you feel right now it is only the beginning. Trust you are going through what all of us went through . It has been one year for me and I have lost 60lbs. and i feel the best i have ever felt and you will too. Keep your head up !!!!!

I took advantage of the early blahs and mild discomfort to jumpstart my diet. Later when I felt better, I continued the small mon-like portions and found that they were truly making me full. Now, 4 months later, down 75 w 31 to go, I feel like every sacrificw was worth it. Check out my outside blog at:
