No. Get up!!!!! You have to move. You will never stop hurting if you don't move. I was dying my first two days home. Day three my wife made me walk up and down the driveway. I am 9 days out haven't taken a pain pill in 3 days and walking a mile and a half in the morning and again in the evening

You must have misinterpreted. I am walking. I was referring to getting out of bed being painful, but I do get out of bed. LOL!

Lol. Oooooh. Ok. Mine lasted about 5 days. Now my only issue is sleeping on my left side. Hurts like hell. Doc said if it's still an issue at first visit then we will look at it.

I'm the culprit, I'm 11 days out and just really started moving around ok today. The pain was excruciating!!! I went to my first post op appt and the surgeon stated that I had a large stomach so when they removed it they had to stretch my stitches tighter??? I also had an hiatal hernia repair done. I could not lay flat, and any movement that required the use of stomach muscles was unbearable. He gave me more pain meds and asked that I rest until today. He was right, because last night I was able to sleep in my bed. Today I am up walking around! I'm hoping that I will be able to drive today. I have been walking all over the house this morning with very little pain. Thank God!!

@skinny_knees. I am trying my best to get fluids and Protein in but I get so full so quick. I am going to a 2 HR schedule today to see if I can get more Protein and fluids in. I'm sure I would be losing more weight if I got everything in. Have you tried boiled eggs yet?

Hi, I'm doing ok. I go back to work tomorrow. I have to go back half days because I still can't get 64oz of Fluid in. I am finally walking ok and getting around pretty good. I can barely eat though. I'm struggling with acid reflux. How are you doing with your food and diet? Sounds like your doing great. How much weight have you lost so far? I'm down 25 lbs, but I'm sure to hit a stall soon because I can't get much food in.

I'm doing ok with food. Still on puree/soft food. I go to regular food on Monday. It's hard to believe it will be 4 weeks. I've lost 15 since surgery.

Thanks for posting! I overdid things today; carried in groceries today and started feeling a dull ache in my right side. I had a hiatal hernia repair too. I took some Tylenol today and took it easy. Hopefully I didn't mess it up.

You better take it easy and do things in your own time. I went out walking a little to quick. I realized I did not need to compare my recovery to anyone else and listen to my body.

I had the same issue - pain getting in and out of bed. Getting in, I would just carefully sit on the bed at a spot so my head would land on the pillow and just let myself fall into bed. Getting out I would use my arms on the headboard as much as possible to take strain off the tummy. It sucked, but the worst of that was over in about 14 days.

      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...

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
