      I get the struggle. but I remind myself that a lot of this is temporary- I’ll be able to enjoy foods again with my family, in moderation in time. In the meantime, I’m so happy that my recovery has

    Had my surgery on the 7th. Got out of the hospital yesterday morning. So far, pretty good. A few minor gas pains and sore shoulder, but nothing unbearable so far.

    Wishing you all luck if your surgery is today or upcoming!

    Good for the most part. Transitions are painful (rolling from back to side, sit to/from stand, sit to/from laying down. Shoulder pain gets less the more I pass gas (I have never been so excited to fart in my life [emoji1787])

    I was released from the hospital the next day, which I was determined to do, however, it was nice that the nurses were there regulating when I needed to take my meds.

    I recommend getting a belly band! I'm so glad I have mine I think it just keeps everything together nice and snug while you are recovering :).

    My parents are staying with me, which is awesome. Definitely have a good support system to come home to [emoji3]

    Congrats! I just had gastric sleeve surgery on 2/8/23. They found a hiatal hernia during surgery and fixed that while in there so recovery has been slower. Anyone else have a hernia repair during their surgery if and when they get it done?
