From what I've gathered the most pain will be while your on a pain pump. Then a couple days of discomfort and gas. Which doesn't sound all that bad. But hey, we will get through it, as soon!

I had same pain when I had my tubal ligation it is the worst part the pain in shoulders. I am dreading it because I do remember. But I didn't know about gas x or walking or pain meds then to help

Yes! My date is the 22nd! I've been reading blogs and forums. I also been going over and over and over my education/diet manual. Which I'm about to do now. Trying to get my postop diet menu down, ideas for the different stages. Starting to stock pantry and fridge with different items. Making sure I get some form of exercise in with my busy work/school schedule, so it wouldn't be a shock to my body afterwards. Trying not to get nervous.

I hope it gets easier Clair. What Protein Drinks are you using? I use body fortress vanilla cream or chocolate. If its premaid the one I like beat is EAS strawberry. What you can do is get some SF Jello mix I use strawberry and add a little to the vanilla and use skim milk it really is a lot better

      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? 🤷‍♀️
