I had my surgery on April 17th and I got my first fill today. I'm tracking everything, but once I started working out a bit more, I was getting hungry between meals. I was a little concerned that my dr would want the plication to hold me over longer, but he suggested the fill.

I was rather out of it the evening of my surgery. I wasn't really in pain, but I just wanted to sleep. I was up and around a little bit more the next day, but I really took it easy for about 5 days.

Thanks for posting these tips. I'm just starting this journey and I know these reminders are going to help me stay on track.

I was having the same kind of pain and I've definitely noticed that it is a lot less if I cut back on the sugarfree stuff. I wasn't paying attention to the Crystal light and that in itself was giving me a wicked stomach ache. I hope you feel better.

The heating pad on my back and shoulder saved me! I didn't get these pains until almost a week after my surgery. Try heat.

Good luck to you tomorrow. I am one week and one day out since my surgery and today I feel awesome. I hate to give advice, but here goes. Listen to your body and rest, rest, rest. I really talked myself into thinking I'd be up and running in two days and I think I overdid it. I wasn't miserable all the time, but I got overtired and then I felt really bad. When I really started sleeping, taking my pain meds on a schedule (I kind of forgot to take them because I didn't think I felt that bad) I woke up this morning and thought well alright, this is going to be just fine. Let your body heal and you will be great. Let us know how you're doing.

Great post! I had my surgery on April 17th and I have also had a rough few days. I feel much better today, but I am so tired. I'm going to try some of the GNC shakes. Thanks again.
