How is everyone doing so far? Congrats on our November surgery group! I miss you all please keep posting your WL journey. ((hugs)) My surgery date ❤11-11-13❤ and feeling amazing!

Madds Glad to hear you are feeling better! Remember that because you have a smaller amount of weight to lose, it will come off slower. You're losing. That is the most important!!

Che- what Protein powders are you using/have you tried?? I find that some are horrible and others are pretty great. You can get creative with them too and use SF syrups!!

Thanks I will try that! It has been lessening for sure! I still can't sleep in bed yet I'm a side sleeper and I get cramps in my shoulders when I try to. Slow but steady I guess!!

No problem! ! I definitely know what your talking about. I do know it gets easier every day and before you know it you will be back to your old self or should I say new self. Feel better.

Thanks! I'm also super excited now because I tried out the whole laying down in bed thing. I shoved a blanket under my stomach so it wouldn't fall towards the bed (I know that sounds gross) - I figured because my incisions and it was pulling and giving me shoulder pain. It worked LIKE A CHARM! I'm super duper excited to sleep on my side tonight. The little things!

Hi had my surgery November 21st I found heating pad and walking helped the most with shoulder pain :-)

You are too funny !!!!!! My first night sleeping back in my bed was wonderful. I used 2 long pillows for comfort and 1 small one in between my legs, trust and believe I didn't move not once and when I woke up I was very well rested. All I know is everyday gets better and better. Hope you have a great nites sleep.

My name is Dyan and I had an bypass on Nov 18th... Would love to join the Nov group.. Not sure how to find friends here... When I click on it .. I am told " not allowed" ??? Any help out therefor this 64 yr old Grandmalol. Thanks

I am 2 days post op after rny gastric bypass. It's really reassuring to know I'm not the only one who has been more sore on postop day 2 thank day 1! (I have no idea how to join this group, but I would love to. I'm in virginia and my surgeon is at duke.

I'm so thankful for this forum. I'm 3 days post op and wondering if this was worth it. Unfortunately my pain management was never really under control due to the fact everything that was prescribed was an IM injection and the first time the nurse gave it to me, She got me in the knee! Already being in enough pain I refused the morphine all together. Now that I'm finally on oral pain medication, I think it's getting better, but I'm having a rough start!
