Totally normal! The pain fades after a little while. I had surgery on 8/31 and now I barely notice the stitch! It’s a little sore, but not painful at all. Use an ice pack whenever you can, it helps a ton!

Thank you! Hey it’s good to have a surgery buddy! I know the shoulder pain is from the gas, the belly pain is weirdly different! I’ll keep trying to walk. Also sipping chamomile tea now. Thank you for the heads up!

I won’t. Today is the first day I’ve been under 45 oz for the day! If it continues much longer I’ll call for sure! I’m also just a little confused because I have had pain in my shoulder and this fullness doesn’t feel at all like gas ?

Surgery twin here too. How are you doing today?

I had a sleeve done on 8/31, so I’m 6 days post op! I’m doing well, and every day since I’ve been home I’ve met my protein goals while getting around 40-60 oz of fluids. Today has been a nightmare though. Protein of any form isn’t sitting well, my whole belly is full of pressure, and it’s uncomfortable to get any fluid down. Is this normal at any point? Any tips on what to do?

I’m day 5 of preop liquids, surgery tomorrow! Day 3 is the hardest I promise! You’ve got this! If you’re hungry just drink more water and know you’re not alone!
