I Sometimes marvel at my own stupidity. I am 5 days post op. I took my daughter to basketball practice tonight. Because of the Super Bowl only 3 girls showed up. I looked at my other daughter who came with me and said let's go shoot some hoops we almost have the whole gym to ourselves. Whoooo and off I go. Running around, jumping, shooting. Next thing you know I fall backwards on the gym floor. That's when it hit me. What the heck was I doing? I fell backwards so hard. I'm home now and scared to death about what I may have done to myself. I'm seriously hurting. It's almost like I had a moment of totally forgetting I even had surgery. Sorry I just had to vent somewhere.

If the pain doesn't improve considerably in the next day or so you may want to call your surgeon. Sooner if any additional symptoms develop. That said, I gotta tell you I love your spunk!

I am glad that I am not the only one that forgets that I just had major surgery. I had my RNY on Jan 21 and went back to work in 9 days and couldnt figure out why my body wont do what I want to.

Just take it easy !!!!

Thank you. It makes me feel better to know I'm not the only one.

So I have a question. Should my side still hurt? Left side? Hurts to cough etc. I'm a week and 2 days post op. Just wondering how everyone else felt at this stage

Pretty common and likely nothing to worry about - especially if you had a drain which is usually on the left side. Keep in mind that internal healing takes considerably longer than external. But - it never hurts to call your surgeon if you're worried. That's what they're there for!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
