Everyone is different. I found day 2-3 to be the worst as far as incisions/moving around, after the hospital meds wore off, but I know some people have very little pain.

I hope I don't have too much pain. I am having knee and lower back pain now due to the weather.

I didnt have too much pain, it was just uncomfortable at the incision points during the hospital stay. Once i was home, after being in overnight, i was fine. Managed on one pain killer a day and hot Water bottles. I think everyone is different

That is true I am trying to get an idea of what to expect.

I am home now from surgery today. My stomach feels bloated and there is slight pain on the biggest incision which is, I guess the port. They glued the incision no stitches. I don't feel gas pains yet. I am really tired slept all day. Doesn't hurt to walk, but it is slow. I am sipping Water when I am awake. It is like you instinctively know not to guzzle. I did have Jello maybe three bites. No Protein today.

Successful surgery on Wednesday the 15th! Surgery is a piece of cake!! Honestly, couldn't have gone any better. I work from home, so I have been working since I walked back in the door from surgery :) Yesterday, I took it easy (although, I did walk 1 mile) and today I took a shower and took off the bandages! So far so good. My biggest issue is how I am going to get all my pills down. I'm tackling them one at a time. I haven't weighed yet, but probably will tomorrow.

I'm on my journey, and I will be keeping up with all of you, too!

I am officially one of banders, with my Surgery on Wednesday the 15th,. I am sore and swollen still but feel better today. Gas pain is the worst-it comes and goes. I just keep moving and sipping away in hopes that each day gets better.

I feel you! The first week on clear liuids was surprisingly easy for me as far as hunger. Once i hit day 9 or 10... I started getting a little famished. Dr said i wont feel much restriction yet either cuz i havent had a fill yet. I think im mostly filling up on all these liquids we r supposed to sip all day

      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...

      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
