Haven't had it done yet so can't answer the hungry part but the shoulder pain is likely to have been caused by the gas. Some of the guys on here recommend putting heat on it. Also make sure you walk as walking is supposed to help dispel the gas!

Reporting Back:

I came home from Hospital yesterday afternoon.

I have to tell the truth it has not been the easiest experience.

I went into Surgery on Tuesday at about 12:00pm, they gave me the IV and wheeled me into the theatre. I can remember them putting a monitor on my forehead and then the gas mask went on.

I can remember waking up about 3:00pm. I was very groggy and sore.

I just tried to sleep as much as possible.

That night about 11:00pm they gave me a needle of Morphine for the pain & also another needle to stop any blood clots (one in each thigh).

They also put white stockings on me to keep the blood moving and two pillow like things around the bottom of each leg that pump the blood. Last night I did throw up, I just felt really ill. It really hurt to throw up as the pain in the stomach is just very very tender.

Im feeling a bit better today, I have had a lemonade ice block and some jelly and have managed to keep the food down. I didnt eat in the hospital it was to hard to sit up and I just couldnt be bothered.

I have been given some anti inflammatory antibiotics & also some pain killers which I am taking.

I think each day will be better but it sure hasn't been easy, I have had my mother here helping me out which is great.

It has been extemely pain to move, just getting up and down hurts alot.

      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
