I just got off full liquid and embarking on the purees. Wounds are healing fine and no soreness there. I do feel a mild gut pain and really a constant fullness throughout the day. Im not sure if this is the norm and that Im still making my way through the healing process. I walk about 30 min a day and am looking foward to weight training in about a month. On the whole no real setbacks from the sleeve surgery but this constant feeling in my abdomen. I see my nurse in a couple weeks and ill wait till then to address this if still there. Anyone have this experience?

I have a 5/8 surgery date. How long did you take off from work before you felt confident to return?

I took two weeks off,glad i did. The first few days after surgery you can expect to feel bad i.e. Shoulder pain from the gas they put in you,abd. pain from surg sie and stomach pain with everything you swallow. Like they say...it get better after that. Try to walk at least 4-5 times a day for about 5-10min this will help. Always have your Water with. I could have gone back to work after a week but that would have been pushing it. Even the first week back after 2 weeks off i was whipped when i got home and my job is not that strenuous.

Good luck with the life change!

Thanks I appreciate it. I'm taking two weeks off and been doing well with exercise and preop diet so I'm going for no complications.

      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! 😞
