I didn't seem to be in as much pain as everyone. My period was coming on the day I was discharged so the few days before I had more menstrual cramps more than anything.

Keep popping those pain killers and stick to program and everyday will be better then before.

I'm 9 days out and just now starting to get back to normal. Like you, I was in a lot of pain at first- didn't expect that much pain and I thought by day 5 I'd be feeling normal. I was sooo wrong. Everyone is different, some ppl have almost no pain post-op and others have a lot! I can say that each day after day 6 or 7 got a lot better. I even went to the store and walked for an hour with my family!today. Good luck to you, hang in there!!

I had my surgery on Monday, 4/29, and was in the hospital 5 days. I have had a lot of pain, but the doctor explained that I have internal swelling from the 5 surgeries I ended up having: RNY, hiatal hernia, inguinal hernia, bowel resection, and gallbladder removal. The pain is worst after waking up, and I take my Tylenol with codeine and get quick relief. So the pain may be due to swelling, but I was told if you have a "gut" feeling that something is not right, to call the office to run it by them to be on the safe side. Also, be sure to take tiny sips of Fluid. If I drink more that a small sip, I get pain. Hope I've helped a little :rolleyes:. Feel better soon.

I had my period during surgery. I came out when it was over. They were so nice to be the nurses/doctors. They clean me made sure my pad was on & I was clean down there. I had the best experience in that hospital.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
