Everyone responds to pain differently. Are you up and walking around? It really does help. It might be painful at first but walk a little bit at a time. Hope you feel better soon.

I had surgery on monday morning and now my pain is pretty much gone. The belly button area on me is sore especially when i cough but they repaired my hernia there. Other than that i do have to sleep only on my back on the side still hurts. My problem is after my little walks im exhausted to the point where i feel i need to sit and relax. Is this normal? I know i need to start doing things but its like i have no stamina.way worse now than even before surgery. Im chalking it up as im still healing. Anyone else have that issue?

It's weird I've had 2 c sections and gallbladder removed and never had pain like this! And yes walking lil bits at a time hurts. I also just had an hr long ride from the hospital that was bumpy that prolly had something to do with it too. This one just does not feel like its getting better like the others but everyone is saying give it a week. So we will see.

I had horrible pain too for at least two weeks hang in there it gets better I would just sit there in tears praying for God to help me as I hit the lortab bottle like it was Jack Daniels. As far as stamina your body is using a lot of energy to heal on very little calories I'm nearly 4 weeks out and I still get exhausted. Bet you can't wait for the insomnia to start! Cuz I can't sleep for shit!

Yeah sleeping is hard for me too. I have to take ambien. This was the worst pain I've ever experienced in my life. It gets significantly better after the 2nd week. I also use a heating pad a lot.

I Am just over 2 weeks post op and at times still feel like I Am not motivated or have enough energy to exercise. I know that surgery is only a tool and that I also need to do my Part... I do walk everyday tho:)

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
