I had my surgery this morning. I'm in so much pain. Very weak and feel like I was hit by Mack truck over and over. When will I feel better?

It takes a good five days or so to feel back to semi normal.. Are you in the hospital still?

Are you walking? Even if you don't feel like it,

It really helps. Most of us felt horrible the first couple of days and thought about "what have I done" but I promise it will get better :)

Laura is right. It DOES get better and walking is the key. Stay strong!

I had my 4 wk post pop today, it the 1st week I can say I was pain free. It takes a full week for the dry mouth, gas pains and exhaustion to subside. Maybe another full week until no more muscle pain in the abdomen. Third week you'll start feeling better, but will still have low energy. Just focus on managing through the pain for today/tonight. Get up and walk the halls! You have to move to get the gas out.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
