I'm having my surgery Oct 5th my per op class is Sept 23rd. I'm getting super excited only thing that worries me is missing classes I just enrolled into two classes and they start the 14th I'll be missing 3 classes plus a whole week of surgery. Hoping my teachers will be okay and let me work it out so I don't fall behind or get knocked for missing class.

The nurses taught me how to brace my belly with a firm pillow as you turn and get up. Really helps.

Okay everyone, I have a question. I am 3 weeks post op tomorrow and sometimes when I move or turn over in bed my incisions feel like they are pulling. It is not really painful nut definitely not comfortable. Is anyone else feeling this and when does it start to go away? Also at the end of a more active day, my incisions feel a little achy.

I was getting the pulling sensation maybe 4 or 5 days post op I'm 3 weeks post op today and haven't had the pulling sensation in 2 day. I think it may be the way we get up. My incisions got achy after a productive day I think it's from all the movement.

I had this, too... As with sylviaflowers, it went away and I have not felt it in a while, but took about 3 weeks...

Hey guys Question: Has anyone had stomach spasms and or cramping after eating or drinking after surgery? Please help!

@@CHLOE12 yes it happens to me often. My doc says it is just our body healing and adjusting

Does he say how lomg it lasts

I just got home from surgery. Can only take two sips at a time. The third causes great tightness and pain.

Still shocked that I had that courage to get this sleeve. Went shockingly well but feels like I've been punched.

@@CHLOE12 He told me could be six weeks

Hello October family, congrats to you all! A quick update to share my journey. I'm still only getting in one protein shake a day, I seem to have a mild intolerance to dairy (I can handle a little but there's a point if I have too much- ouch! Ouch! Ouch!), I seem to bounce between diarrhea and constipation (which is super fun) and I'm tired of sip sip sip and drinking my meals. My one incision is a bit infected but I'm cleaning it regularly and taking it easy.

AND since starting Optifast pre-op shakes on September 28th, I have lost 30 lbs as of today. And for that I'm in shock and awe and so flipping happy that I'll sip sip sip, avoid dairy, and drink my meals like a champion! And eventually I'll conquer even those nasty protein shakes! Lol

@@anewme2015 The weight loss is awesome!!!! What a great attitude!!! You will get through this nice & slim & healthy!!

I just turned 3 weeks yesterday. I still have that sometimes. It's not super painful, but you can tell it is tender.

I've been moody today too. Just cry you might feel better. I just try to remember the emotions are going to pass and later or tomorrow will be a new day to start fresh. Everyday is going to be different and we are going to have some hard days mine was yesterday I was so moody and mean but I had reason I hadn't eaten anything in 8 hours. Just know you're not alone! Hope later is better
