I had my sleeve on 1/28 but I feel huge even though I lost 25lbs before the surgery, is this normal, or is it in my head? I feel like I am as big as I was before I started my pre-op diet.....

Normal!! IV fluids will do that plus the swelling!

My belly looked like a bloated "frankenbelly" for weeks :P

this is so normal it takes a while for our heads to catch up with our body size........Try and sit back and enjoy the journey.....you will be learning a lot about yourself in the time to come...... :)

at this point for me, less worry, no pain, I am a very comfortable fatman.

It seems you'll be peeing your troubles away for a while into the future.

Very normal. I had to stay an exrtra day and got even more fluids and meds. I thought I was going to pop. It will take a little bit to get the gas and extra fluids out. Your gut will sound like a HE washing machine for a long while. But it's all good and normal. Congratulations! Good luck to you!
