[jillw8 22]

My surgery was Tuesday and I day 3 postop today. I honestly expected to feel lousy but I don't! Ive been walking outside, no nausea, everything has went smoothly. Now, I just pray it continues to do such. Did anyone else feel this good 3 days after surgery? Can't believe it!

I never felt bad at all!! I was a little tired for 2-3 weeks because I was adjusting to greatly decreased calorie intake, but I had no nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, etc that lots of people talk about on the forum. In fact I often wondered if they really did surgery on me. Now at 41/2 months out I know they did because I have lost just over 50 pounds and I can feel the restriction. I'm glad someone else is feeling good like I did. Best wishes on the journey of your life...Kathe

I am a week out, and I never felt bad. I was amazed that the lack of pain/discomfort. I was a conversion from a band to the sleeve. My stomach has been sore, but I was up walking all through the hospital after my surgery and haven't stopped. Returned to work last week and it is like the same ol stuff. I have gotten hungry a handful of times, and am battling my love for food, as the liquid diet has been tough for me. I want more and am ready for substance. I can't quit thinking about food. Is this normal? Currently I am eating applesauce and Tomato soup....and have caught myself eating more than 4 oz.......I didn't think that would be possible.

I felt great too!! I was just sore and a little tired.

Please remember that you did have major surgery tho and take it easy!!! I was walking 2 miles at 5 days out and got into trouble!! So just remember to take it easy and rest even though you do feel great!

I had a very easy recovery too, and felt really good. I was very surprised! I felt very blessed and grateful.
