Does anyone still have sharp pain from any of their incisions a week post op? Debating whether or not I should call (again) to be seen… my right incision has been killing me since surgery. I figured it was just a post op normal but I am a week out from post op and the pain has not weakened at all. If I am not on pain killers (Hydrocodone) I can’t even sit on the couch comfortably or walk… the right incision is so painful and when feeling it it’s pushed into my body (like dips into it, doesn’t lie flat) just wondering if anyone has this as well or if I should contact surgeon.

Erm......same. the right side. But I'm on dope so I can imagine your pain. Also my freaking shoulder hurts. I mean call if you feel it's too bad. But I've been told it's early and pain happens for at least four weeks. I did notice more Protein intake helped me a little. I have a three year old though and my partners job don't give a flying fxxx about my pain so I had to act like I'm not dead inside 🙄😠. Call the clinic though love. At least get some pain meds that's their job.

I am scheduled for 6-27…I am stressing over the liquid diet

Most people do. I'm a week (8 days, 10 counting before my surgery )post op. So I've been on liquid for the same amount of time. You're going to do fine. Focus more on the life change aspects. Easier said than done ik. But all this coming from a ex food addict. 🫂❤️❤️❤️

I've been on liquid or clear since 5/31 and it SUCKS. Surgery was 6/7. I'm not going to lie, it does suck. I've eaten a tiny amont of soft foods that are in my next stage coming up next week, but trying not to push it too much. Let me tell you though, that tiny tiny portion of mashed potatoes was fantastic, lol.

For me it was dealing with low blood sugars bc I’m diabetic, but it wasn’t that bad if you take it hour by hour. It will go by quick! You’re almost there. Keep it up.

Hello! I haven’t been on here for a few days, I went back to work and everything was good. Then Tuesday night I had some sharp stabbing pain in my side. Woke up took my multi Vitamin and about threw up and then had blood in my poo. I called the doc and got seen. Turns out those Multi Vitamins need to be taken with something coating your stomach, I have a kidney stone and a hemorrhoid. People, people. Take the stool softeners, drink your Water. 🤦🏾‍♀️ Other than that I’ve been good. I’m no longer crying when I make the family’s food, (I might still lick their food😏). I haven’t had a moment to catch up on everyone’s messages but I hope y’all alright!
stay hydrated friends

So I had my surgery on Monday (3 days ago) and I have like no real pain. I totally had planned for this to be worse. Im sure it is different for everyone but have other people felt this way? Like right now i can pretty much do everything I did before the surgery. Im intentionally not lifting anything over 10 pounds but outside of that im still cleaning house and walking miles every day. Yesterday I did it twice. Anyone else have this happen?

Hi everyone thank you for checking on me! It means and has meant the world to me! How is everyone feeling! Question and I know a lot of people might judge so please only non judgmental answers … did anyone start smoking or vaping right after surgery?

      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... :(
