Although a bypasser i'm feeling your wind pain! Move around as much as you can without doing aerobics. Warm drinks helped it too... See if you can find someone to get you some Deflatine or Windeze to help with it...
And as Mixxy says congrats for being brave enough to embrace surgery, here's me hoping your a big loser from now on xx

Deflatine works a treat for me. It'll get better sweetheart. What you're feeling is I think 'normal' for early days. Just wait till the weight starts to roll off...then you're going to feel SO much happier.
Sending huge hugs. What pain relief did the hospital give you? Keep taking it. And keep taking pain relief every 4-6 hours too. Don't let the pain build up. That's Nurse Charis talking.

Hi there
the only thing i can tell you is every day gets better and better. I felt lousy until day 5 and then it was as if something was lifted from me and I have felt great ever since. Hang on in there and
(1) take the painkillers - don't try to be too brave
(2) walk walk walk - even when you dont want to. Set your phone alarm for every 15 minutes and walk for 5 minutes - just around the lounge will do
(3) sip warm drinks - peppermint if you have them
(4) focus on how you will fell not how you are feeling. By the end of the week you will feel so much better and will be congratulating yourself on your decision.
(5) don't forget you have had an op and some discomfort is to be expected so be kind to yourself and read, watch telly etc until you feel well. Sleeping will be difficult for a few days yet - it's part of the recovery.
Above all keep posting and everyone will help you along the way
Best wishes to you for a speedy recovery
Love JO xX
