Thank you for the feedback. Doing my best to keep walking. Today I was able to get out of bed on my own and the stiffness was a little better. Right now I'm just kind of scared. Every little thing that I feel makes me wonder if something is horribly wrong (dizzyness, shortness of breath) or if its just anxiety.

This is so true. I'm grazing, but I'm grazing on cucumbers, radishes, grape tomatoes maybe a small bite of cold chicken(large bites anger the she-band). tmf

I had surgery on Monday this week. I also have sharp pain when I take a deep breath. I didnt have a hernia repair. People on this sight told me it is where the band is and it can also be the gas they put in. I have found that it is worse when I standup strait. If i lean forward and take a deep breath it doesnt hurt hardly at all. I hope it goes away soon. Good luck on your journey. That pain is the only complaint I have. I am also having difficulty drinking enough Water. Does anyone know how to tell if you are dehydrated?

Day 3 for me too. The gas pressure has been KILLER!! Only a little pain around my inisions, they feel like bad bruises. I've been staying on my pain meds every 4-5 hours though. I did have quite a bit of nausea yesterday and had to take something for it. I've only been drinking b/c I know I have to. Haven't really been hungry yet b/c so uncomfortable w/ all the gas pressure. Biggest (unexpected) complaint is continued dry mouth. I can't seem to hydrate enough and there's a morning breath taste most of the day - I brush my teeth 4x a day now.
Overall, I'm doing ok. Just tired A LOT.
Hope you all continue getting better!!

You read my mind tonight! I'm going through the same feelings right now. My fiancé got Chinese food for dinner and I was so mad I threw a box across the room because I was so upset I couldn't have any! I've never acted that way before, it's like I snapped! Stay strong and know you're not alone! It will get better for us and be worth it in the end

Ignore it it!!! Try you best to keep walking your own your way to something wonderful and your going to look back and say! I made it!!!!

I had the same horrible soreness! I rested a lot but also made myself get up every couple hours and walk around the house. I had to have someone help me out of bed too. It'll get better!
