TiDubb on MFP

Hi, I'm Tina and was sleeved on 09/10/12. I feel great now that I have been able to incorporate soft foods. I have started walking and it feels amazing. So happy that I now have energy and no swelling or dizziness that always seem to discourage me to continue to exercise.

Cypress, Texas *waving*

Whew! I feel a lot better. I started drinking decaf hot tea and mixed chicken broth with cream of chicke (this keeps the hunger monster away). Off the pain meds--large incision area is still sore but much better. Yay!!

So glad you posted this. I was sleeved on Sept 10th and I am feeling the exact same way. I continue to drink but the "hunger" pains are gruesome. Now that I no longer have gas pains I can really feel the pain at the largest incision site. It hurts when I get up or turn. I tried to back off the pain meds but I think I am going to have to take some for a little while longer. I HAVE NO REGRETS!

I am 3 days post-op and fighting serious hunger pains/acid or whatever you call it. Then I have the nerve to sit and watch cooking shows. LOL. My doctor did not tell me anything about Protein shakes just straight liquids (Water, broth, SF Jello, SF popsicles..) For some reason this is not holding. I just want the hunger pains or constant thought of food to stop. Would love to try cream of wheat/pudding/mashed potatoes/anything that will stick.

I took gas x chewable tablets but last night I tried the heating pad suggestion--Worked Wonders! Woo Hoo!! Now that the gas is gone I am feeling the soreness from the large incision. I did not know your body did so many twists and turns when you are trying to get up and down from sittling are laying. I am so happy I found this forum.

Congratulations! I am post-op 3 days out. I feel good just fighting gas pains! Doing lots of walking but still can't get rid of them. I am still excited about my journey.
