That's awesome! It took me about a month to be able to sleep on my left side.

It is wonderful that we learn to appreciate the little things in life after the sleeve :)

Had surgery 6 days ago and really haven't been in much pain since day 2 or 3. Is that normal?

I had no pain with my surgery.. Just a general soreness in my abdomen.. Like doing about 500 crunches.. My sleeve surgery was my first surgery ever and honestly.. it was a piece of cake and my 3 tiny scars have completely faded!! :)

I had to have my gall bladder removed 9 months after my sleeve surgery and I was definitely in pain after that one!! OUCH!!!!

I was also a belly sleeper so last night was great. Also first night I slept with c pap since day before surgery. Wonder if that has anything to do with it?

It's so interesting to read the differences in pain level with this surgery. I'm 2 weeks post op today and still have pain on my lower right side. My incision there looks great and isn't sore, it's a deep down inside pain. I still can't sleep on my side and haven't even attempted my stomach. I also can't stand pants on my waist....either have to fold them down or wear a dress. My energy is zip! This has been a tough surgery for me for some reason.

I had a very easy recovery from gallbladder surgery, Lapband, and hysterectomy. Go figure!

      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! 😞
