It will get better, that first few days is really trying but once you start walking you will see

that a lot of the soreness will fade fairly fast. Keep us posted on how you are doing.

Patience will be your best friend over the next couple of months. I know it's hard when you are miserable in the moment, but keep your eye on the prize and try to focus on the big picture. Hang in there!

The first few months can be trying but also rewarding. When your clothes start to fall off you will

not even remember what you went through. Keep posting your feelings and ask questions. We all go

through the surgery differently so your chances of finding answers to your questions will be

answered by someone. I love this website, it keeps me focused.

I had absolutely no pain the entire process......... :P

OK......see that.....how easily I got you to be pissed off at me and forget all about your pain......

I know it's not that easy when it's there all the time, but it might help some if you try to take you mind off the pain by concentrating on other things......

Go for a walk........Do some breathing exercises......take up a hobby......cook and freeze some small meals.......or if all else fails.....check with your doc and get some stronger pain meds.

Rest assured though.....as others have said here......time will in fact heal and the pain will ease too.. Every day will be one more day with the worst behind you. ;)

I am on day 2 and at the hospital with good meds was wonderful, I only spent 1 night at hospital, now that I'm not in the good pain killers I'm suffering! When I breath my shoulders hurt, any thing I sip on I can feel it from the beginning to the end, going through my esophagus and sleeve. Dr prescribed liquid acetaminophen and it helps for 2 hours then have to re take!

My question is when does this discomfort go away? I woke up every 2-3 hours in pain last night! Just called Dr who said to keep observing myself and that it should get better.

Oh, ladies. I wish there was more I could do to comfort you and help you through. I know it sucks SOOOOOO badly right now. It did for me too in those first couple of days. Forget about one day at a time! I was just trying to make it through the next minute! So miserable! But that really is just a very distant memory for me now at 8 months out. I promise you that it does get easier and you will feel "normal" again someday. Trust and believe!

My friend said her shoulders hurt for three months after her surgery and it did go away. I did

think it was strange but it does happen. I hope you feel better soon.

You don't look disgusting at all. You look bruised, but your skin is very nice. I hope it gets better. I just had to tell you that. :)

      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.

      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...
