    I am 4 days post op and I had a break down and cried today because my head wanted a Mcdonalds cheeseburger so badly. I have been doing the exact same thing, I am right here with you! Glad I am not alone!

    Yes we can!! [emoji16]

    It's just the tightness and the fact I can't stand up completely straight yet because it is so tight. But yeah the lower left side probably hurts the worst.

    It's so weird cause my surgeon and everyone is telling me to walk as much as possible. Everyone says different things.

    So would you say that stopping the pain meds helps? I mean honestly they don't even really touch it or ease the pain for me.

    I did have laparoscopic. No complications at all. I'm still having some gas pains but mostly when I drink. I'm day four out and the pain has gotten a little better, just not as much as everyone else's does! I guess I'm the exception to every rule lol.

    So glad it's not just me!! I thought maybe I was crazy cause I've seen so many people say they didn't experience that much pain! I'm hoping after day four (tomorrow) I'll start to feel normal again. I'm a photographer and I shoot weddings and my surgeon swore I would be ready for my first wedding since surgery on April 15th, but now I'm starting to freak out!

    It seems like everyone I know who has done it and has had a c-section said it was a piece of cake! I probably shouldn't have put much faith in their answers. [emoji23][emoji23]
    Seems like you should be fine! You got this! [emoji1303]

    I think the larger weight you are when you have surgery the more it hurts when you move. Think about it, you have internal stitches at all those sites they opened up to do the surgery and they pull when you move. I had my gall-bladder removed and an umbilical hernia repaired with my RNY. It hurt so bad to get up and down that my husband had to help me. I bought a toilet riser so it wouldn't be so painful to get on and off the toilet. I slept in my recliner for at least 3 weeks because it was painful to turn and get in and out of bed (though I tried every night). It does get better as the days pass though and by week 4 I was sleeping comfortably in my own bed.

    I am day 4 post op and the pain has gotten better, just not completely where I wish I would be pain wise.

    I also had c-section and I'd rather have had that again than the rny surgery, i was in sooooo much pain for the first 2 days then it started to settle down, so hopefully you will start to feel better soon x

    I think the pain factor depends if you have laparoscopic surgery or a large incision. Also of course any additional surgery such as removing a hernia can increase healing time and pain and of course post op care all contribute to pain levels. The gas pains suck!! But they were gone after 3 days for me. I had laparoscopic surgery so no pain but I did rest and take it easy and gave my body time to heal and started slow walks building distance every day to help with healing. Didn't need pain killers. But it took about 4 weeks to start feeling human again. But that has been my experience anytime I go under general anesthetic.

    I'm 5 days post op and honestly I feel great!! I have a little stomach soreness but that's pretty much it. The more you move around the better it gets. You will be amazed how much better you feel with each day that passes.
