I went back to work 10days post op and have 3 small children. So yes, I think I did overdo it. I feel much better now! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I'm 18 days post op and the last couple of days I am experiencing a lot of pain at my large incision. Anyone else experiencing this? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

FMoore, I'm sorry you had a bad day too. I keep thinking that it has to get better. If you don't mind me asking, how much weight have you lost? I started at 264 and am 247 today. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Day 6 has not been a good day for me. My stomach has been upset all day. I'm having lots of cramping and diarrhea. I added Protein shakes yesterday so I don't know if this the the result or what the hell is happening but I'm not happy. Yesterday I felt really good and thought I was on the right now and today has been a total set back Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I just started Protein shakes today and no more pooping. Surprising the shakes tasted really good to me! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

The pain at the very beginning (day of surgery and day after) was more than I was expecting. But I also had a drip so I was able to stay on top of the pain. Use your pump! Days 2 and 3 the pain is only at the large incision and is mostly felt when first standing up and first sitting down. The pain meds really help. I also developed a cold so the coughing sucks! My first night home (day after surgery I tried to sleep in my bed. That was a mistake. I was super uncomfortable and felt like I could not move. The last two nights I have slept in a chair with my feet up and that was much better! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Only pain I still have is at the largest incision point. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

They give you lots of pain meds. I had a drip post op while in the hospital. Now I have a liquid pain med I can take every 4 hours. The pain is manageable with meds Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I agree Jam2. So full of gas that it makes it difficult to take anything in! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
