I had my sleeve done Monday and came home yesterday afternoon. Tuesday was not fun. Lots of stomach spasming. Today I feel like I didn't even have surgery. Able to drink without any problems. I had two Protein Shakes today, yogurt, a little Soup and a good amount of Water. The only thing is the gurgling sound in my upper airway...throat and belly. I feel super blessed but I am amazed at how good I feel. Has anyone else felt like they were back to normal this soon post op?

I had the procedure laproscopically. Not sore at all. First two nights it felt uncomfortable to lay on my left side... now I have no problem with positioning.

Six weeks out now, and I have enjoyed a textbook recovery. Being retired helps, because I can rest when I feel like it. No problem with shoulder gas, incisions are healing nicely, not much trouble with digestion. I did sleep my first three nights home in my lift recliner. The only thing bugging me right now is a plateau that is frustrating.

I have noticed that I shiver instead of constantly overheating, but I read that shivering is a metabolism booster. I still get gurgling that sounds like a sinking battleship, but usually when I am drinking something. I am glad that you are having a great recovery, too. My heart aches for those who have had a hard time of it.

I know.. I almost felt bad posting this but I am almost worried I was doing so well. I did not feel any restriction with drinking fluids at all and the more I am reading up about it the most I understand that the restriction comes more with solid food. My best friend who had bypass nearly four years ago came over last night and was floored at how great I was doing....she said she it took her a week to feel that well. I really am so grateful because I do not have a ton of help other than my sons dad who hasn't left our side since the night before surgery. I do not like being dependent on anyone so being incapacitated too long was a great concern for me.

Ya, the gurgling. I just figured the plumbing was changed so the drain takes more time and makes a noise. :huh:

I got gasX and I been taking it religiously every 6 hours but I haven't had any lower gas just the upper gurgling which is like a trapped belch that won't come out. It is not painful mostly just annoying.

I was the same way. You're going to start to wonder if anything had really been done, and maybe its not working, but believe the stories that when you start eating for reals you'll know your tummy is tiny ;-)

I had a similar experience. Very uneventful recovery and I felt great the next day. I only noticed a little soreness when getting up/laying down. You probably won't feel any restriction right now, you're still swollen and numb. Stay the course and don't overdue it.

It is fantastic you're recovering so well! and it's important to share the good recovery stories too for those that come after us. Thanks! Congratulations!

I am trying to sip as slow as they recommend in the literature but the shakes go down way too easy I hope I am not damaging my sleeve.

Um, no. In fact I'm a little envious. It took me months to feel back to normal! :wacko: That said, welcome to the losers bench!

For some it never goes away, ever. I'm one of them. 3.5 Years P.Op

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
