Surgery was at 2pm yesterday and can't believe how sore I am!!!!! I mean wow!

They cut you, poked around inside and closed you up. Yeah, soreness is to be expected.

I didn't feel sore as much as I felt bloated, with a super tight abdomen.

It gets better.

It gets better every day.

Keep moving and walking. I was walking a few hours after my sleeve surgery Tuesday. I thought they were insane getting me up a few hours after surgery.

Turns out it was the best move possible. Up....walking.

Seems counterintuitive when you are hurting so bad but it is absolutely the ticket.

Best wishes on your healing.

The pain is usually more from that blasted gas they pump into you. It can be very painful and the only thing that helps is Water, walking, gas X and heat packs.

Walk like crazy and sip sip sip.

Welcome to the losers club!

I had surgery Monday and came home last night. Walking helps so much with soreness and bloating/gas. The more you walk the easier it comes. Take your pain meds since they are offered and ask for nausea meds too. It'll get a little easier everyday.

Had surgery on a Thursday... Fri/Sat at home were awful. Felt bloated and like I had been kicked in the stomach a bunch. Sunday/Monday I felt much better and no longer needed any pain meds. Tuesday I felt pretty much normal and went back to work on Wednesday for about 6 hours (desk job.) You'll start feeling better pretty soon, so hang in there!

Congrats on your surgery! Hang in there. You should see improvement in the days/weeks to come. At. 11 weeks out I can say confidently that it definitely gets better!

@ Thepostopt I ate pudding and it got stuck!' So uncomfortable!!!!! I am never going to try food again!!

I can with near 100% certainty, guarantee that you will try food again, lol. Hang in there. Probably just a too bit thick for you... thin it out more with skim milk.

Sorry to hear about the pudding. Are you doing okay with water, broth, sf Popsicles? Those were my staples early on.

Yes!! Should u just stuck with those? will this pain go away?

This early out I wasn't even eating pudding yet, so if you're having issues I'd go back to broth, etc.

If it persists, be sure to check with your doctor though, as I've never been stuck myself. I'm 11 weeks out.

Don't try and rush new things. You've still got a lot of healing to do. Feel better.
