Thanks for the advice!

I am five days post sleeve. I had a gastric band removed at the same time. Has anyone else out there had this done? Anyhow, my right side feels so swollen and sore. I feel like I can't take a deep breath. My ribs are sore. My Dr. said the band was stuck to my liver and had to be scraped off (ew). I feel hungry but have no desire to eat because it hurts. I am trying to follow the diet as well as I can but the protein shakes are hard to choke down. (I wish they made a pill). I stopped taking the pain meds yesterday because it knocks me out.. I could go on but my purpose was not to whine but to seek reassurance that nothing is wrong and I just need to put the time in. Any thoughts will be appreciated.
