I also had terrible shoulder pain and my legs were so sore that I had to lift them with my arms to get onto the bed. I made sure to walk around every time I got up to go to the bathroom. I walked in and out of my upstairs bedrooms and would basically just pace nack and forth for about 15 mins at a time. It will get better!

I totally understand where you are coming from. I am exactly 3 weeks post-op today and I am STARVING! I was fine during the liquid phase and now I feel like I can't get enough to eat. I am loading up on the mushy proteins, eating slowly, chewing thoroughly and eating the quantity my doctor says I should (about 1/2 C protein for each meal) but then 15 minutes later, I am hungry again. I am having my first fill a week from Friday. I am hoping it helps because this stinks! Are you still on the liquids? My doctor required 10 days of liquids.
