oh yes, i remember the first few weeks post op. Just miserable....I didn't dream about food but that is not uncommon. Hold out until your doc oks for solid food, it is hard to digest at first and makes your tummy feel really weird. Hang in there, you can do it!!!!

I was sleeved Monday as well. Yes the gas is reficulous. Even when i sip Water i get gas. But its to be expected for at least 6 weeks.

You will also feel lots of pain when moving r/t the large incision that they actually pulled the stomach out of.

Its hard but hang in there. We are sleeve sisters.

Hello magpie30.. so I thought the same thing about weird feeling as I progress to cream of wheat.. do u feel ur food going down into ur new stomach? It doesn't hurt but man its weird. Will it always be this way? Sleeved 5/10

Oh, you poor things! I was sleeved 24 days ago and have never felt better. Post-op pain lasted less than a day and except for one major bought with gas pains, I haven't had a complaint. I am now on a soft diet with ground meats and have tolerated everything I tried. I was so fortunate not to have pain because I am limited to Tylenol for pain and that wasn't going to cover much. Hold on, I'm sure it will get better as you heal. I do know that I spend most of my day thinking about food right now, but not sure I have dreamed about it. That will get better I'm told as the new way of eating becomes more normal. I am getting tired of being obsessed about this sleeve. Hopefully, soon will get back to thinking about what used to occupy my mind.
