I will be out 2 weeks tomorrow and my pain is very little.  My left side and the top of my tummy are sore, but I can't really say it was pain.  I've been off pain meds since my 5th day from surgery.  I'm trying to go to the gym today.

I'm sorry you are still in pain.  We are all different, so you may just take longer.  If you are concerned you could call your Dr office.

I still have some soreness on my left side but I can manage most of my day wiithout taking the liquid Roxicet. I feel soreness and some sort of numbness on my left where the largest incision is. I had surgey on 11/17 and about a week and two days later I woke up and felt alot better. A lady who had her surgery last month is 5 weeks in and she said she is still a little sore on her left.

Hello Everyone,

I will be 3 weeks tomorrow and I am still in a lot of pain, I am still on pain killers. I was told by people I know personally that have had this surgery that by this point they were feeling better, and I just want to get some feedback from you guys about how are you doing pain wise and how many of you are still on pain meds, what type and how often. I am just looking for a little reassurance. My doctor said that some of her patients report that one morning they wake up and the pain was gone, anyone else experience this overnight change?

thanks!

 I also had surgery the 17th & have slowing getting back to chores.  Last night was my first night to cook a full meal.  I can get through the day without the pain meds as long as my activity level is low.  If I try to get out I need the pain meds but am still on my first bottle.  Wondering how you feel?  How much are you able to do?

 Texas Bariatric Specialist diet is strictly liquids for the 1st three weeks post op.   I am am 12 days in & I see the Dietician Wed so I hope that we will introduce something yummy. Anytime I feel hungry I have an EAS carb control protein shake.  Don't like the diet but I am melting away.
