I'm 15 months out now...I remember the struggles of the early days...feeling like it wasn't worth it. But it gets better, easier too. Once you start being able to eat and drink a little more normal, you'll begin to feel normal. It also helped me to think about the times when I was down because of my weight...those weren't such fun days. Fast forward 15 months, I went from 285 lbs to 185 lbs. The initial struggle was worth it...hang in there, it does get easier.

The nurse in the hospital told me that I would. Hmmm

4 weeks out and I feel soreness just over my belly button. About 1/2" above the incision. Not pain but a little tender. Also feels a little hard there. Anyone else experience this? I don't feel it is enough of a concern to call surgeon. Figure it's just scar tissue from the surgery.

My temp went up day or 2 after surgery as well. Not high but like 100.1. Inflammatory response can do it. Surgeon instructions said call if over 101.

I'm 4 weeks out and understand the fear of new things as well as wanting something different. I'm looking forward to my next stage and being able to eat meats. A meatball or tuna salad sounds great.

3 weeks 2 days out. Met with primary care and surgeon 2 days ago and all seems fine. Having some pain (ache) at top incision and am paranoid. No fever, but did have a rapid heartbeat earlier right after trying humus for first time. Not feeling sick just anxious. Thanks

I'm only 3 weeks out. By day 5 it's very different. Hang in there. I just had real food. It gets bettee

I just got the chicken broth the other day. Awesome stuff

The isopure drinks are good. No problems. Hoping the chicken broth from unjury will be good. Am I supposed to not drink 30 min before and after a protein drink?

They seem to go through me. Even tried making with lactaid milk today. Using whey. Tomorrow I get powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury chicken broth delivered. I hope that is good? Anyone else like this? I'm 13 days out.

Pain is much better. I coughed today without pain. I only took 2 Percocet all of yesterday and so far none today. I keep reminding myself that it's only been 5 days since surgery.

Started adding more protein in now via whey protein shakes but having a bit of diarrhea. Should I stick to clear proteins? Nutritionist recommended maybe lactaid milk instead of skin plus. Could be just stomach adjusting? Ugh. Very frustrating. I hate GI issues too.

I too was sleeved on Thursday. The belly button is definitely sore. The pain on my right side was probably air (we saw it in the swallow test ). Coughing is awful. Hell, a hiccup hurt. Things that work for me: a small stool next to the bed so easier in and out. I'm still hunched over while walking. I feel your pain though.

This wasn't a big chunk. But it felt like sponge bobs house was in me.

Maybe she didn't realize it had a little pineapple in it. Feeling better now. I just have a great imagination of a tiny piece of pineapple clinging to a staple and causing an issue.
