Hi everyone! I just got the sleeve done 3 days ago, and I am struggling. I'm in so much pain, because of the gas stuck in my stomach area. I've talked to a few people about the recovery but they all say it wasn't too painful and a fast recovery. I'm feeling in the odds because of this. I'm almost starting to feel a little regretful. I just got really hungry today, but my body doesn't too well with liquids, so I'm drinking maybe 2-4oz of apple juice a day. I just got discharged from the hospital for the first day, so I feel more comfortable that I'm home now. Also, this might be a little bit of a TMI, but I woke up to having my period after surgery. The nurses joked with me saying, "boy, when it rains, it sure does pour, huh?"

I'm just 2 weeks post op and I've been getting chest pains and stomach pains when I try to eat mashed stuff, so I've just been really frusterated. I still crave "normal food." Maybe it's just all mental. I'm thinking maybe it just takes time for my body to get adjusted to this lifestyle but so far I'm feeling a little down. I wonder if I'm making all these complications up in my head or others get them too. I wake up everyday at 4 am almost feeling stressed. Sorry if it sounds like I'm complaining. I didn't tell anyone other than my mom and dad and 2 best friends about the surgery so I feel super bottled up lol

I thought I was the only one that felt that way! I do miss my stomach so much because I crave water. I feel so dehydrated and helpless.

Hello! ☺ I just got my sleeve done 3 days ago. That's awesome that you've lost 32 lbs in 2.5 weeks! Incredible! I've been in so much pain and even wondering if I made the right choice, but stories like yours give me hope. Do you mind me asking your starting weight?

Hi! How did you get the gas to come out?? I'm 3 days out of surgery and I'm still getting a lot of pain from my belly. I've been walking, a lot. (2 to 3 hours total a day) don't know what else to do!
