Just had surgery two days ago. Already down 13 pounds, but still very sore and finding it difficult to walk around for a decent amount of time. Is this normal?

Yes, that's normal. The anesthesia is still working its way out of your system, you've got some incisions, and in a sense your body's been through a trauma during surgery. Please stay as active as you can, even if you can only walk for 5-10 minutes at a time, in order to prevent blood clots.

Hey Jason,,hang in there it will get better before you know it. Like Jean said keep moving so that blood pumps the way it supposed to.

Good Luck!!

YES! I was very sore after surgery! So much so that I was shocked at the pain, I didn't expect it to be that bad. But, everyday gets better! Hang in there and focus on the end result!! You will do great!!!

I have just had my surgery last Wednesday (23/05/2012) and I have been experiencing a lot of pain but as others have said each day tends to get a little easier, today I'm able to move around without too much agro and stuff like coughing and laughing aren't killing my stomach anymore which is a releif. I thought I was going to be miserable for the rest of my life, but alas today I feel (great would be an overstatement) happier and well. Just hang in there mate, just like me you gotta hope all the pain has to be worth it, and soon enough you won't even remember it - no pain, no gain Dan

I had tons of back pain for 2-3 days after surgery and then is just magically went away. Hang in there bud. It gets easier.

Back, shoulder, you name it...I was sore all over, tired, and puffy. This will all eventually go away. Surgery anesthesia and body healing. Rest, sip liquids, and light walking and activity was my surgeons advice to me.
