4 days post op

Well I was "sleeved" on Tues, June 28, 2011. I am doing okay but the gas (due to the pumping of the stomach) was a bad combination with having your stomach removed. I am not as gassy today. I couldn't really drink anything Wed and Thursday although I did consume some liquids. Today, I am alot better and have had liquids more than yesterday. The only problem is that my stomach is always "growling" like I'm hungry but I'm not. My doctor's office said that not to get confused that I'm hungry but it's simply my new stomach trying to digest what I'm drinking. Sometimes, I won't have a drink at all for an hour and I feel like indigestion, somethings just come up, I don't throw up but I feel a sensation of something coming up. I haven't thrown up but these indigestion spells are terrible. I didn't have indigestion before so I don't know what this is. sleeping is hard but I've managed to get some on the recliner.

Congratulations on getting the sleeve. Focus on sipping your liquids and make sure you get in as much as you can as that will help. Walking will also help with the gas pains. It will get better.

Day 5. I have the same issue it feels like my stomach is growling a lot. I walk alot just cant get enough fluids in so I feel weak. Hopefully my body will adjust. chicken broth seems to help.

For liquids, I have frozen different flavors of sugar free Wylers drinks, grape, cherry, lemonade etc..put in in an ice tray and eat them frozen. I have managed to stay hydrated this way. It's like eating a slushie and it tastes great.

It's like eating a slushie and it tastes great. My cousin had the sleeve last August and she's lost 120 pounds so she tells me the different ideas she came up with. It helps to know others who have done this and can give advice and different ideas on how to be creative with these strict diet's the first couple of weeks. She said that everything will get better and the results are great. In the end, it'll be worth it. Your body will adjust, it's just going through a bunch of changes right now. Once it adjusts, it'll get better.

I had that same weird growling. It does it now, but MUCH less at day 10. I also had this weird noise, not quite burp, but a long weird thing as warm liquids were going down my throat. It was like it was going down and air was coming up, but not a burp. My kids LOVED those several days at the dinner table. They had great fun.

Like I said, I might notice it once per day now, it's not nearly as bad as it was.

Hang in there, it gets better every day for me

Hi,

I was "sleeved on Monday, June 27th, and I've been doing pretty well. A little gassy but not too bad. No indigestion, but my doc put me on prilosec desolvables right out of the shoot. He said the indigestion is part of it ...you might want to call your doc. My tummy rumbles after I put anything in it, even water! I'm not too interested in food unless my family is eating then I feel kind of hungry. I can't wait until this first two weeks is over because this clear liquid diet is a bummer. I can't wait for pureed soup!
