I was really sore the first day. I didn't want to walk.. but I did. This is SO IMPORTANT if u are to avoid bloodclots. This is day 5. Each day the pain seems to subside more and more ESPECIALLY when Ur taking the pain meds. I've been taking my vitamins.......everything except my protein which I start on day 8. I've lost close to 10lbs post op. AWESOME. For the most part craving food hasn't been a major problem. My soreness is what keeps me in check with the food. I bought this blue lawn chair like chair that allows me to sit propped up.

Great job! Sounds like your doing great. Yeah the soreness will get better. There is just one spot on the lower left side that always is the last to heal. They put an extra tight stitch there, inside. Just be careful. You will see that in a few days or a couple weeks you will have some appetite, or maybe you will be one of the lucky ones that don't. Make sure you walk everyday and get in your water. Good luck on your journey!

Thanks. :0)

I'm not sleeved yet, May 14, but that seems to be the average time. Someone (my husband) might say I'm obsessed or overly excited about all the info I am reading. I just want to know what to expect

That sounds a lot like me. Even my husband, who also tends to be an information junkie, shakes his head and teases me about the amount of time I spend reading about wls. But, like you, I want to thoroughly know what to expect at each phase, plus it's something to do while I'm waiting... and waiting... and waiting...
