I just had my surgery on Thursday (June 19th). I had a hiatal hernia that was corrected at the same time. I know I can't lift more than 10 lbs and I'm trying my best, but with a 30 lb 2 year old it is hard not to.

Now I am SO SORE on the inside... almost like something has been pulled/bruised.

I'm starving, of course I'm starving so I can't figure out sometimes if I'm hungry or aching...

I also have a 32lb 2 year old and find it really hard to remind myself to not pick him up. Definitely hard when you have a sweet little face saying "hold you Mommy"....lol. Guess we just have to try our best to only hold them while we're sitting.

I'm almost 4 Weeks post OP and when I lay down for bed I feel the same. All my insides feel super sore and I have no kids to blame. I think we are still healing but you should really try not to pick up your kids right now. Best wishes.

it's good to know that I'm not the only one feeling sore! Today I actually feel a little better. Maybe I just over-did it yesterday. I have to move into a new classroom next week... and my hubby will be doing the lifting for me!

I had the hernia repair too as well as gall bladder removal on the 19rh and I'm so miserable! I definitely have the soreness too. I'm on creamy liquids but it doesn't matter because everying is going straight through me because of my gall bladder. My surgeon didn't seem too concerned with my soreness when I saw him today.

I hope you feel better! We can be miserable together!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
