I had mine at spire in Manchester. I feel a little bit beaten up but no where near as bad as expected. I think it's taken more of an emotional toll on me. I was frightened to death pre op n when I came round I was so excited and relieved I was out of hospital within 4 hrs afterwards. Since I've got home ive been really tired but think ive got of lightly with only a little gas pain but I'm really down because I'm hungry lol all I can smell is what my husband is cooking the kids so it's getting to me a bit that way 😞 I know it will be worth it ive already lost a stone since Monday. I'm looking to lose another 3-4st

I had mine done yesterday
Got home this lunchtime
I'm in pain but am taking the kids paracetamol
Trying to move about to avoid trapped wind
Was worried about giving myself the injections for the next 6 days but hopefully I'll be ok (I'm needle phobic)
I lost a stone pre-op and can't wait to see how I get on in the next few weeks.
I'm definitely not hungry
Couldn't even manage a whole cup a soup
I'm glad I booked 2 weeks off work as originally only booked 1 week
Looking forward to chatting with other who are going through the same thing as me, I don't feel so alone in my journey.

what injections do you have to have I haven't heard them mention them?
i still have wind and find it hard sleeping and moving and I can't really eat, I als have 2 weeks off which I think is good as 1 wouldn't be enough x

I also have to inject myself, I get my partner to do it for me.
I haven't been to bad today but pain seems to be starting again as it gets later!
I managed some soup and fruit juice today.
I have only got 1 week of work so hope that will be ok, I sit at a desk all day so nothing to strenuous.
Hope I feel better tomorrow than today

I can only manage a tiny bit of liquid at a time is that normal? Serms I can hardly drink anything until I get the pain in my shoulder again could that still be gas? Going to try some peppermint tea now x

But walking around or rocking back and forth seems to help get rid of the gas
I am still very tired and keep dropping off to sleep but I am sure that's the antistatic still in my system.
The paracetamol isn't much help so may have to seek out something a little stronger
Hopefully we'll all feel better soon
