Yesterday I felt really good. I'm 4 weeks post op. So I cleaned, did some laundry (I've done it since 2 weeks out with help) and vacuumed a small area. Now I have a tender area below the middle area of my right breast to about 4 inches above my belly button. I'm hoping I just used some muscles I haven't used in a while and not done something to my sleeve. I'm drinking with no issues and am not in real pain.

@justme&mysleeve

bullseye - i think you nailed it on the head!!!

since this bad feeling started after

you did all that housework -

you might have overdone it a bit!

take it easy, rest, be nice to your new tummy/sleeve

and it will be nice back - you are one month

PO - sleeve is still healing - i don't think you "hurt"

your sleeve - At 5+ years PO, i still don't do housework:lol:(kidding)

glad you're feeling good

if you want to do more cleaning, i live in syracuse, ny

come over anytime -i'll have a Protein Shake for you

after you clean my house ;-)- take care bud

I've been having a similar pain all week after going back to work. I was off yesterday and today, so I've just been resting up and taking it nice and easy. It's helping! Let yourself relax for a day or two and see if you have any improvement :)

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
