I had my surgery oct 18. Stayed 2 nights at the hosp. Im out now. On clear fluids. Still having some pain. In the abdomen and shoulders. Dont think im well hydrated cuz im always sleeping and lazy ! Anyone else had the surgery on the same date ?

I didn't have the same date, but I did have some of those same symptoms. But it shouldn't last much longer. I had surgery August 27. I was told the shoulder pain was gas and I guess a lot of others have this type of shoulder pain right after surgery. A heating pad really helped me.

I slept 12-14+ hours a day for the first week and a half. That's just your body telling you it needs that sleep to heal. I lost more than half of the 35 pounds I'm now down in those first two weeks just because I was too tired to think about anything but sleep.

You're only less than 3 days out from surgery. You'll be amazed at how fast you feel almost back to normal. I was on full puree by the second week and mashed "real" foods by the third week. I'm how 8 weeks out and can eat just about anything I used to, just much, much smaller amounts.

Good luck with everything.

Its nice to know ur not alone nd alot of ppl experienced the same. After how lony did ur surgeon remove ur stitches ? Mine said around 1 week. Nd how did u shower ? Im having trouble showering. I think ill just cover them with a nylon bag or so..
