Well I'm 2days post op and I wish I could say their is no pain but I can't first and foremost if you are big all the way around like my self it would be good to let the doctor know to some how get your body to lay even on the operating table if not you will have terrible back pain like my self.my back hurts so bad I can't even tell if my stomach hurts.but over all dr.quiones and his staff was top shelf without question by me being so big I could feel every spring and rail in that hospital bed so the brought me back to the hotel to a real bed

It will get better! Day 3 for me was still unpleasant but day 4 was a whole new ball game and by day 9 I was off painkillers completely (I think I could have done it sooner but those stupid staples HURT) good luck!

Hang in there! I was very tired for the first 5 weeks. Just make sure you get your fluids in, no matter how long it takes. You will start to feel normal soon!

How's everyone doing??? I am feeling so great lately - finally seeing the changes in my clothes (down from a size 22 to a 16) and so many people are noticing, which feels great. Anyone have any tips for getting to the gym more frequently? That's definitely where I need to start buckling down more. Before/Today pic below.

Tara, you look amazing!! So great. I'm down 30 since surgery on 11/19, having a ball and feeling great.

WOW you look great!! Congrats and keep up the great work! I'm down 33 since my surgery on 11/15. I think that is pretty good considering I can't exercise yet due to a complication I had. Not with the stomach, but with a muscle, they think I have either a muscle tear or what they are calling a rectus muscle hematoma...or a muscle hernia. Unfortunately all the tests done so far show nothing. Very Frustrating, but at least I'm losing! Down from a 18 to a 14.

You are gorgeous!!! What day did you have your surgery? I had mine Nov 6, and am down over 50lbs already---similar to your stats (according to your ticker).

My advice for getting to the gym is to just do it. I know, that doesn't sound like great advice...but that's really what you've got to do. Maybe find a work-out buddy? If that's not an option, maybe you could find someone who also had surgery--whether in real life or online--who can be an "accountability buddy" or something like that?

Have you found activities and exercises that you enjoy? Or does it all feel like a chore?
