I am 6 days out today and just waiting to feel normal. I was in the hosp 1 night and was dis charged by noon the next day. I had no pain medication beside the Toradol I was given in the hosp. I just experienced gas pains mostly in my shoulder. Its very helpful to sleep sitting up. Im still dealing with residual gas mainly just burping that is UN comfortable at times and I don't know if its from surgery our from when i drink.

I have seen on here you do not great hunger pains. That's not necc true. I feel hungry a lot and wonder if its real. I still have a heard time getting my liquids in and if you don't you get a headache. I just don't feel like drinking. I had a hernia repair also stop maybe that's the reason why when i do drink it feel like it sits on my diaphragm. It does go down eventually or maybe it goes down right away and i just don't know it. I don't feel like drinking at all so i hope it gets better cuz i need my Protein. I'm just hoping out all gets better starting tomorrow cus ready our not I'm going back to work Monday and not reading into it full time. I just wanted to tell my story. I had lower BMI and stayed at 224 for 10 yrs when in Dec of 11 i started gaining a nd daddy of surgery i was 246. My scale now says 236 and i know its Water but ya gotta start somewhere. Good luck to Feb sleevers. It is worth it and i know your scared and no one was a scared as me if you read back at one point i was thinking of backing out. Janice

I am on my 4th week and yes it was rough the first week and a half. Each person is different, but it does get better. I do feel hungry of I wait to long to eat a bite or two. It doesn't take much. Now I am having fun cooking new things for dinner.< /p>

Good luck and hope the crappy part passes quickly for ya:)
