Hello I am three days post op and just today the right side of my belly started to hurt. Is this normal? Also when was the first day you felt "normal". I maybe out done myself today because my husband went to work and I had my two young girls?

I'm 8 weeks out and I started feeling better around 6 weeks but I am barely starting to get my energy back this week! It takes time

I'm not sure about the pain...after surgery I had tons of pain and discomfort all over. Mainly gas pain.

Actually now that I remember I had a pain on the left side of my belly and the doc told me normally people complain of pain on the right side. My pain turned out to just be horrible gas

Six weeks huh...lol. right now that seems to be sooo far away. How were u after three weeks? I need to go school shopping with my six year old soon.

Tired. Sleepy emotional and more tired. Everyone is different though. This is just my experience. Many people get their energy back sooner

Oh good to know..I have never felt so yucky my whole lifetime.it will give my husband a sence of hope if I can give him a time frame.

Even my back hurts from god knows what.

Its normal for your stitches to be sore for 6 weeks off and on. They put a nerve block on the nerves to your stomach so its probably just healing pains

Ive had all kinds of energy since my surgery. Next day after stitches removed I made a 5 hour trip

Hi, I'm 4 days post op today and am so glad to have found this app for my phone. I was worried that all this nausea and acid was abnormal and was getting quite depressed. Now I know its all par for the course which makes me feel alot better.

Day three is ROUGH, girl. If you had your children too... well, it's no wonder you're tired, sore and discouraged. I didn't have pain meds once I got home, but I still felt loopy for several days, plus the weird stomach sensations and fatigue. I couldn't concentrate on anything, or read, or even watch a show.

Today is Day 7 for me, and I feel pretty good. Still get tired, and that six-week mark sounds about right for feeling back to normal in terms of energy. Hopefully above normal, since you'll have lost so much weight by then!

Well its day four now...I think if I could sleep more then two hours that would be awesome!for some reason I have this crazy charlie horse on the top on my back.plus the indigestion sucks and I want to sleep on my side so bad but I can't(I get really sick). Plus I got my monthly friend this morning (one week early).I am really hoping for Sunday to be my back to feeling better day because I go back to work. Thanks for sharing with me!

You're going back to work after 1 day? Wow! I booked 3 weeks off. Hope you're job isn't too strenuous. X
