Hey guys I hope you all are in good spirits and great health! I am 2 weeks out now and I am having some pains under my left breast/ribs and upon inhalation. I am assuming it is a pulled muscle and or just my body healing up since surgery. It hurts to even breath:( I am not trying to be discouraging at all but am wondering if anyone else is having or has had this issue? This is not an excruciating pain but it is a dull nagging feeling and I hope that it is not something serious.... that is the hypochondriac coming out in me. I think I have been overdoing things because I am trying to get up and walk and I don't know if I am trying to do to much. I even called the ER today. The nurse told me it sounds fine not symptoms of a leak, just like anyone who has had this surgery I am worried. Any feedback is appreciated.

Hi all........I'm two weeks out as well and am feeling new pings and twitches. I,too, feel some pain on the left side of my belly.....like I've been exercising too hard and am bruised. I'm wondering if it is caused by our bodies finally undergoing nerve reconnections. I don't get winded tho. As far as overdoing thing, today I am forcing myself to rest because yesterday I spent the entire day out with my sisters and woke up today feeling exhausted. I know I didn't get my Water or Protein requirements yesterday and the combination is brutal. I'm still having a hard time getting my Protein requirements in. I am in the soft food stage now, which is better than the pureed stage but still hard to figure out what exactly to eat. Plus, with drinking all the fluids, I find I'm not interested in food at all. Anyway, good luck to everyone and hang in there!

I'm five days out. Starting to feel more normal, still a ways to go though. Does anyone else feel literally every single thing as it goes into your stomach and then moved into your intestines? If so, how long does this last? It doesn't hurt but it is uncomfortable.

Today is 2 weeks exactly post op and it feels like an eternity! I have not had majorly intense hunger pains but let me tell you when you do eat and you eat too much or too big of a bite you will never make that mistake twice :) I had a horrid experience the other day and just like I said it will never happen again. It hurt so bad I can't even describe it! It's a learning process for all of us. We are going to make it and in a couple of months we are going to be pros at this :)

24 hours since I was in recovery and feeling great. Dr told me they are kicking me out because I'm making it look too easy and im too nice....I'll take that anyway. My only issues were painful in recovery until they got the pain under control and when I was moved to pills for pain and hbp medications it gaveme heartburn. I have never been so happy to be in clothes vs a hospital gown. Hope all my fellow 9/30 sleeves are doing great and going home today.

      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
