Stomach soreness



Recommended Posts

It gets a little better every day. I am 3 weeks out and typically don't have any pain. The more you walk the better you will heal so keep that in mind.

I has the vertical sleeve on April 1st. It's been 2weeks and no pain at all. I had mild discomfort after the surgery for about 12 hrs but it was just the gas build up. Lots of walking around is what I suggest while in hosp. After 2days of hosp I was walking all over Tijuana for the next 2 days

I was sleeved yesterday 4/14/15, and my stomach is so sore. How long will this soreness last?

My soreness lasted about 5 days maybe. I'm only a week out and today was by far the best day! So trust me it gets better! Good luck to you!!

Hi me and my mom are having the sleeve June 8th, I was wondering about walking around Tijuana? Did it seem safe? We will be at the Marriott I love walking I'll want to walk a bunch and was wondering how it was??

We did a lot of walking yes it's safe. About 7min walk behind the hotel is a strip mall with Walmart Starbucks and great little shops. We took in a soccer match which is next to Walmart to watch the premiere team in Tijuana play. We also walked down the street to see the small shops the other direction. Such great history and powerful paintings on the street. OXXO is exactly like 7-11 store. That where my mum went to get sandwiches which were great and cheap. They are all over the place. Sandwich costs about 1.75 U.S. There is an oxxo right beside the clinic as well. For ur mum. The ppl are so nice. Drivers are crazy. Just watch when crossing street. There are not that many walking signals. After the surgery when u r at the hotel on the 2nd day take a cab to the revolution. Cab is 100 pesos. Or 7-8$ U.S. It's where Tijuana started. Shops food for ur mum tequila shots for ur mum at all the shops it's great atmosphere. Have at least 20$ in pesos as u will tip the ppl who bring room service and stuff. It was the best hotel. Friendly efficient just a blast. Pool hottub.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
