I had the exact same pain, mine went away after a couple of weeks. My friend who had her gallbladder removed had the same pain, it has something to do with the muscles there. It feels like you’ve done 1000 sit-ups

Hahaha... 3 weeks out and I was having my brows done, the lady then hoes ‘You’re REALLY hungry aren’t you’ , 8 weeks out and it’s disappeared, only remembered about it now that I’ve read your post, thank heavens!

I love that - ‘practice self love’ I’m going to make it my new years resolution

Congrats! That’s a whole lot during a six week period. If I were you I’d have it altered, and only once you’re 50-70% of the way with your weight loss then get new scrubs.

I was thinking the exact same thing, if I had done it the old fashioned way I would have been proudly telling everyone about it and at times I do feel like a cheater but I also think that I could’ve never been on this healthy eating plan which I’m on for 8 weeks if it were not for the surgery. People fail even with the surgery because they go back to their old eating habits. I think our minds work overtime when it comes to weightloss, just so tiring.

That’s also the thing, I’m just back from 3 weeks annual leave so it’s a big difference to those at work. My face deflates as soon as I don’t eat carbs so with the all round healthy lifestyle it’s much slimmer. I’ve found myself letting people know I gym everyday so that I get less questions. A pregnant lady told me that I’ve transferred all my fat to her. Good luck with your journey, the whole cover-up is exhausting but it’s worth it on the weekend when you don’t have to see them :-)

Hi All, I was sleeved on the 15th Nov 2017 and I’ve lost 22lbs so far which is great. Because I’m short the weightloss looks much more than it is (what a relief) BUT I’m finding that I’ve become shy and a bit uncomfortable about my weight loss. Everyone at work has been commenting and complementing me (I didn’t tell anyone that I got sleeved) to a point where it’s making me uncomfortable. On Tuesday I wore a dress which I wore way back when I was lighter and no one has seen the dress, new job, and everyone was making a fuss. It got to a point where I just sat at my desk for the rest of the day until I went home. The next day I went back to wearing my fat clothes to camouflage my weightloss. I know that this is strange but has anyone gone through the same thing?

One month down with a loss of 22lbs! I’m ecstatic, as a ‘low bmier’ I expected less but hoped for the best and I made it! :-)

I had my surgery on the 16th and had the exact same pain yesterday and I have a office job mostly sitting. I didn’t take time off and went to work 2 days after the surgery, needless to say I stayed home today and the pain has subsided.

I had surgery on the same day! My clear liquids are for 7 days and I’m already fantasizing about the yoghurt I’m going to have Friday morning. My surgery was at 7:30 and by 9:30 I was back in my room. At noon I went for my first walk around the ward which was tiring but I made it. My Dr requires that you walk every 2 hours for about 10mins. The only thing really bugging me is the pain just above my belly button incision. The pain isn’t on the site, just a bit higher up, I hope that it will pass soon because I want to start walking on the treadmill on Friday. I also did some laundry yesterday which I pretty much avoid doing, seems like the surgery is turning me into a good partner, lol.

Wow! Congrats on your loss, that’s an amazing amount lost. I think I’m going to bite the bullet and weigh on Friday, it would be 8 days postop then.

Hi Everyone, all went well with my surgery and I’m back to work already. I have not not weighed myself since my Drs visit(I’m one that’s jumps on the scale every morning), I just don’t have the desire to. I think I’m scared of being disappointed

I’m actually on the Corporate side of a hospital. I’m hidden away in my office. Today I just went out to take a walk around for the gas. I can’t think that the nurses would be able to return back as quickly as I did.

Same here! Surgery was on the 16th and I’m back at work today (Sun to Thur work week). I am mostly worried about infected incisions. My liquid intake is awful, pre-surgery I was gulping down water because I’m not a big coffee/tea/Juice etc drinker. I feel as if I’m going to collapse from dehydration

This morning I went off to have my blood work done prior to surgery tomorrow and decided to get something to wear to dinner tonight(I’m watching them eat, lol), the BF and I are going out with his friend and wife and wanted to look good. I tried on multiple options and the staff in one of the stores saw how this shopping trip affected my mood and they started pulling options for me. Needless to say I walked out with nothing, only a new pair of morning slippers for the hospital. While walking up catch a taxi I couldn’t be more grateful that tomorrow would be the start of the new me. I vowed not to buy anything until the new year because I never want to feel the way I did today. I tried on the clothes in the store which I never do because I avoid the dreaded lighting which shows all flaws but today while looking at myself I took a look at the last fat me. I can’t wait for the new me. I have made the right decision
