Relax, and the pain subsides, I had RNY and I had pain, but not too much when I came home from the hospital. As far as the weight loss, I think you are doing well, you had major surgery. I journal my weight loss.

YOu are doing fine! Just keep sipping the water! The pain is natural, remember you had major surgery! The pain will eventually go away,you have to heal on the inside out, not the outside in! Your body will tell you when you are good to go, but you have to listen. So for now rest when you are tired and lay down when you need too. It's ok you are tired and need too! Good luck.

The pain should start easing up in a day or two as long as you don't do to much. Especially don't vacume or mop I did and ouch I paid for it. Your weight loss is doing great and you will probably loose some then slow down then lose some then after 4-6 weeks when you can really start exercising you'll start losing a whole lot. You will have times when it comes off real fast and other times when it slows down and even maybe stalls a little. It's ok your body has to adjust to all of this and you need to stay healthy. You'll start feeling really good after about 4 weeks. My friend and I both experience that with our VSG's. Congratulations and give yourself time to heal. I hope you continue to have great success.
