No they didn't say anything and yes everyone is different. I know by this stage some people were pain free and I guess that's what's frustrating me! I shouldn't be surprised though, I have a connective tissue disorder so the tissues are more fragile and more prone to bruise so it's no surprise my insides feel like I've been hit by a bus!! Just have to be patient and let it heal!

Been to the nurse today to get my wounds checked and all seems to be healing well. Have taken the dressings off now thank god cos they were driving me mad!! Turns out I've had a reaction to the dressings, I've got a neat red square around each incision and they're itching like mad!!
Feeling generally much better today and like I'm on the way up (though not in weight I hope!). The pain is definitely getting better but I still can't do too much as I soon know about it if I do, all very frustrating but all in good time I suppose!

Ok so day 11 post op update.
Healing well and pain levels much much better, barely having any pain killers at all which for me is pretty amazing as I was taking them every day before for joint pain. Still not managing to sleep comfortably but getting there.
I'm tolerating puree well but having a bit of a problem with milk for some reason. At least if I get constipated I know I just need a glass of milk to get things moving lol!! Not feeling hungry at all and mostly 'eating' by the clock at the moment - I am craving cheesy sauce though!!
Though I'm healing well and so far no problems but my head is all over the place!! Feel really emotional though I believe this is quite common after surgery. I keep feeling like I've made a massive mistake and I have no idea why!! I feel really freaked out by the fact I don't feel hungry, can't recognise feeling full it just feels uncomfortable, I don't even feel like I know when I need a wee, everything just feels s bit numb and odd.
No idea if this is normal but can't wait until I feel properly myself again and get back onto proper food!

Hi suzie glad your healing well. Apparently i have read a lot of people feel depressed and emotional after bariatric surgery. Not sure why. Is it because a lit of us are emotional eaters? I wander if its normal to feel like you have made a mistake? Not feeling hungry is a good thing is it not ??? I wander why you feel numb? Esp when not going for a wee?? Is it any thing to do with the nerves etc I wander. Oh my I have seen a few people on here that feel like you! Hope you will soon be back to your old self hun! X

Oh dear! Please don't let me put anyone off who is pre-op, I don't mean to be negative as this is a wonderful gift and I'm sure I will wholeheartedly believe that when I get back to my normal self. I'm just not sure I was psychologically prepared for after surgery, if you ever can be of course!
Yes not feeling hungry is a good thing but I feel like I've lost normal physical sensations and it feels a bit odd. Coupled with the fact that now the pain has subsided and I'm healing I'm starting to crave proper food it becomes quite a battle.
The whole gojng for a wee thing is bizarre, don't get me wrong, I haven't suddenly become incontinent bug I just don't get the sensation I need to go. Instead I eventually feel a pressure in my kidneys. I have to keep reminding myself to go. Perhaps I need to drink more???
Would be interested to find out if anyone else has had anything like this...

Aww thanks, I'm feeling good. Healing well but still a little sore when I eat or drink but definitely getting there.
Been a bit up and down emotionally but I'm sure I'll be fine once I get back to normal, back to work and back on solid food!
Got weighed today as I'm now 2 weeks post op and lost another 4lbs, that's 13lb lost post op, 21lb since lsd and 39lb total loss!!!!
I'll take that

What a great weight loss well done you
Well done you! I was just thinking about your not feeling the need to wee thing. Several years ago I had an ovarian cyst removed, and was catheterised for a couple of days, when they removed it, it took me a few days to relearn how to feel the need to wee, if that makes sense? Just wondered if it could be a similar thing? x
