I feel the same way. Barely any pain, just soreness like I did a lot of crunches. My incisions have no pain and if it wasn't for seeing them, I wouldn't know they are there.

Luckily, I watched my swallow test on the screen so I know I was really sleeved and I can feel my restriction.

Today is day 3, I am going to get my nails done, I had to take my gel polish off for surgery, and walk around the mall.

I have a lot of energy but being cold all the time is getting annoying.

Sounds like everyone is doing well. I'm on day 13 of my 14 day pre-op liver reduction diet and almost had a meal yesterday. Thanks to this blog and everyone's support I held strong and stuck to the plan. I have to be at the hospital at 0530 Monday and I am so ready to be on the other side of this surgery. I'm not nervous just excited to begin the next phase of this journey and so thankful for Bariatricpal and the wisdom of those who have already done this.

July 13th. Starting pre-op diet tomorrow, 1k cals or less and dont eat like an idiot. low-fat, low-carb high Protein foods.

Can't wait to shed the fat suit, good luck all.

Had surgery on Monday the 13th and left the hospital the next day. Five incisions plus drain site for six total. My largest incision is next to my belly button, while the incision itself is only about 1.5 inches the abdominal muscle wall cut is about 4.5 inches long, that goes right to left. All the other sites feel fine and are just sore, however the large site and large cut in muscle hurts like hell. I can hardly stand, sit, cough or sneeze without major pain, also when standing this site has a large indentation from where the muscle should be, but its not, yet. This site and muscle below is spread for stomach removal and other things during surgery, and had the most manipulation. I have used an ace bandage for support of this area which has also helped. I have called my surgeon and was prescribed a muscle relaxer that has helped a lot. This is normal for the technique of my surgeon, which may be different for many of you. Everyday it gets a little better, I would like to know if anyone else has had the issues I have outlined above. I wish you all the best of luck and quick healing.

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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!!
