I am on day two of recovery, not feeling hungry at all, forcing myself to take in liquids. I have to say the shoulder pain is the most annoying of all. Although my incision areas are still a little tender. I try and go for 1 walk a day around the corner. How long did this shoulder pain last for some of you. I didn't take any pain med today, just trying to bare it

Hi Alerker I am on day one of recovery and I'm not in pain at all. I've walked and took gas-x so the gas has sustained. I am not hungry at all and have to make myself eat. Yesterday before surgery I was 235 I stepped on the scale today I'm 225 is that normal.

mizpk83 not sure there is a normal, everyone is diffferant. I am happy to hear you have no pain that is great. Now that you mention gas-x i believe I will take it now, thank you for mentioning it

Yes ma'am it work I used gas-x thin strips extra strength.

Where did you get the gas x strips? I haven't been able to find them at my grocery store or my CVS.
