Is It Gas Or Something Else?

[angelakay2 117]

I am 3 days post op and had to stay in the hospital an extra day and a half. I get these wierd feeling after I sip on something. They feel like hunger pangs but I am simply not hungry.

I have tried cold, warm, room temp, etc.

Also, How long did the dizziness and nausea last?

I walk whenever I can.

Please tell me I'm not the only one windering why in the heck I did this???

Hey Angela!

I was wondering how you were doing post-op. I hope you feel better soon. Maybe when you feel up to it, we could meet up to go walking at one of the high school tracks. Feel better!

I had my sleeve done on the 12th. They said I was doing so well that I could leave on the 13th instead of staying the extra night they originally told me I had to. I opted not to leave due to the fact that I was nauseous and dizzy. My nausea finally stopped when I stopped giving myself the pain meds. I haven't had anything for pain since the afternoon after my surgery.

I, too, am getting the wierd feelings after I sip. I agree w/ you that it feels like an extreme hunger pain. It is still happening 4 days out. I am not sure when it will go away.

I also am having a lot of gas buildup. I know I need to walk more but I am afraid to leave the house and get dizzy when I am down the block. I have walked around my house though.

I hope you are feeling better soon!

I will definitely let you know!! I am hoping to feel much better real soon because tis dizzy/nauseous feeling sucks!! I will say though, as far as pain goes the gas was the worst. I feel so thursty I want to chug a giant glass of Water. I know I won't but I would like to!

I think a lot of my issues were coming from them keeping me on morphine around the clock. I told them I did not want anymore pain meds so I hope this is just residual meds left in my body. As for walking, I feel the same way so I started walking around the house. Just walking whenever ad wherever I can. I hope you feel better soon as well!!!

If it feels anything like when you wake up in the morning and you were starving... But the first thing you do is get a cold drink, and it cramps your stomach.. That's normal. Mine did that for a couple of weeks. I think it's like the internal feeling of getting salt on a paper cut.. lol. It's almost like your stomach seizes up.

Angelakay: try gas ex strips...I will be going out to ride this morning and run. Don't laugh but if you want to get in a public walk I am making my swansong trip to torrid. last year their swim trunks were awesome and they had them in 12-14...and that is what I need now! OMG!

I can drive and we can go from bench to bench...
