I am just about 4 months out and down 65 pounds. I am having a lot of pain in my joints where my legs meet my body. Also, today I started having pain in my breast bone when I exhale. Anyone experience the same thing?

I’ve felt this way in the beginning and it subsided after a few days, but I woke up this morning and it has been feeling this way ever since. It doesn’t hurt me bad enough to go to the hospital....but I mean it is very uncomfortable and it is painful when I take a deep breath.

I am 16 days out from my sleeve. I’ve been doing so good. Handling the new foods food. I woke up this morning with such a full feeling right under my breasts in the middle. It won’t go away. It’s so much pressure and kind of hurts when I breathe. What is it? And what can I do to make it go away? It’s so uncomfortable!!!!!!!

It made one week today and I can thankfully say I am feeling so good! The ball sensation went away around the 5th day. I was barely getting anything down when I came home. My family was afraid I was going to dehydrate. It was just so hard and with the feeling in my chest it just felt like everything I swallowed just sat there, but hopefully you feel better soon! One week today....16.4 pounds gone!

I’m also struggling with the “ball” sensation.
Not quite 2’ days out and while I managed to drink my mandatory 2 liters within 24 hours, every single sip hurt.
So since today was my first day back home, I’m finding it impossible to get all of my Water in and also Protein.
I managed to eat 5 spoonfuls of the bariatric oatmeal (in 2 separate sittings)
This worries me as I’m supposed to have 3 Proteins day.
Right now though I’m focusing more on Water than anything else

Thank so much! It’s so crazy to see everyone on here and the difference in doctor restrictions.

It doesn’t specify. It says I can have creamy Soups, cheeses, milks, yogurt, pudding.

About to start Phase 2 of my post op.....Are potatoes allowed? I was thinking of a potato soup! They would be completely mashed, nothing chunky.

I’m experiencing this right now! And I’m still on liquids only. My surgery was Thursday. Even with just Water I feel like it is stuck right in the pit of of my chest and not going any further. 😔

Sending you a message.

Check with your doctor. They gave me a schedule of meetings.

I haven’t yet. I’m still home, taking it easy.

Had sleeve surgery January 31st. Looking for a surgery buddy.

What is that? I was only prescribed Percocet for pain and Zophran for nausea.

Yes! It’s horrible. That’s what’s stopping me from getting my Fluid down, because it’s such an uncomfortable feeling. It hurts.

I have pain meds, they aren’t working that well. I think the bulge in my chest and hard to breath is bothering me more than the incision. I’m just so frustrated.

I had the sleeve done on Thursday. I’ve been crying all day off and on. I have one incision that is hurting so bad. I can’t get much down because I feel so bloated and I feel as if there’s just a bulge right in the middle of my chest. Hope you’re feeling better soon!

Thank you so much! That’s what’s starting to worry me. I can barely drink, I feel like there is a ball in the bottom of my chest right on top of my stomach.

I am 3 days out from gastric sleeve. I am getting depressed. Feeling like I will never feel normal again. One of my incisions feels like it’s on fire. It’s really the only one that is hurting. But my chest feels like I swallowed a ball. I can’t drink a lot because it just sits there and almost feels like it wants to come back up.
