Surgery Done But A Question



Recommended Posts

So yesterday was my surgery and it seems everything is going well. Granted I kinda freaked out when coming out of anesthesia because I was cold, shaking, nauseaus, and tied down to the table. I loathe being tied down and apparently when I was still half out I started thrashing around like a "wild woma ". Luckily I did of hurt myself or them. Shew!

So my question : I can't have liquids or Jello until my leak test tomorrow and my stomach is making weird noises and is sore. I can feel gas moving around inside, but I'm also feeling weird hunger pains. Do y'all think it's just the gas gurgling makin me think I'm hungry? Honestly I was hoping I would have disinterest in food. I w got Ll these fears now that maybe it wont work or something. Stupid, I know, but I could definitely use some words of advice right now....

I was sleeved on April 4th and those sound you hear are very common. I wrote in about that myself. It sounds like a gremlin or bear just roaring, lol. It does go away at 3 weeks I no longer hear it. It is gas! - get up and start moving that is the best thing you can do. You won't have any interest in food for the first week, until you CAN start eating and then you will obsess about what you can eat. You will see a huge weight loss during the first 2-3 weeks which will keep you on track. - Just drink your liquids as much as possible, you don't want to be dehydrated. Good luck - You got this!!

It would be highly beneficial for you to sleep in an upright position. You do have gas in your abdomin area so walk, walk, walk, and try to get as much rest as you can. You will be going home really soon. Let us know how your doing. ;)

the hunger you are feeling is most likely just gas. i'm 6 days post-op and still get it some, but it only lasts a few seconds. good luck!

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
