I'm sure you know the everyone is different! However, I never really had much pain as I did soreness. I use to get stiff ( still not as much now) if I lay or seat in the same position too long. When I was in the recovery at the hospital my pain was a 6 and it was down hill from then. When I was d/c my pain was like a 4 and by day 4 or 5 was I two and now 0. I am 10 days out and make over 10,000 steps twice this week and avg. about 6,000 the other days. I do everything lift, dance, walk, sometime forgetting I just had surgery. Give yourself time and do as much as you can. listen to your body but I believe the more you move the less you feel and the faster you heal!!! Wishing you a speedy recovery.

When does the pain start easy up?


It does...little by little, everyday gets better! The more active you are, the faster you will feel better. Just a short walk 3 times a day will help you tremendously! Then when you start soft foods, take a short walk after each "meal", that helps a ton too! Good luck!

I found at about 6 days, I'd turned a corner, but everybody heals so differently. It was like it went from pain to only hurt/discomfort. Every day got easier.

Once discomfort started I used a heating pad and never took my brace off. It gave me great relief and I felt 100 percent better about a week after surgery.

I had my surgery yesterday and the gas pain is awful ... I hope it eases up soon, the gas x strips aren't helping either [emoji17]

Bella, walking helped me the most with gas pains. Move when you can...omg, I burp so much when I'm walking, but it felt so much better!

      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...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      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

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
