January 25th sleeves?!

[ad5707 9]

Anyone had their sleeve done on the 25th? If so would love to know how your feeling and what's going on with you post op.

Me me me!!! Had mine done on the 25th and doing great. Not getting all of my Water or Protein in yet but getting close. How bout you?

[ad5707 9]

Surprisingly drinking a lot but still pain. Do you have any discomfort still? Also do you miss chewing as much as I do lol

I'll chime in...I was 1/26. I'm doing well overall. First two days were ROUGH. Dealing with crazy hunger pains, so trying to figure that out. Wasn't expecting to feel so hungry I made my daughter a ham and cheese sandwich for lunch all I wanted to do was lick the ham and cheese, but I resisted, lol.

Same it's not really even hunger pains it's more a mental thing for me like all I do is crave things but can hardly get liquids down without a lot of discomfort

[walkinggirl 90]

Mine definitely feel like hunger pains (though I'm told they're probably not). It's like that deep, loud, painful rumble you have after you haven't eaten all day. Strangely, it seems to happen more when I take a drink or bite of something. IDK, plan to talk to my surgeon about it. I haven't seemed to struggle with head hunger too much other than the ham & cheese episode.

How is everyone's pain?

My stomach is obviously still tender. I walked around the grocery store today and might have overdone it a touch. I am occasionally getting some dull chest pains right around where my stomach would be. Assume that is just part of the healing process.

Walking girl I'm in the same boat as you. A little pain in my chest once in a while and having a little hunger. I spoke with my nut today and she said that hunger is typical when you are still on liquid diet. Stomach still tender too but not bad.

I need to chime in here, too. Sleeved 1/26. I feel pressure?, gas like pains from around my sternum accompanied by gurgling noises. Not sure if I ever really feel hungry. Not sure if I know what full feels like either. I just keep forcing myself to sip Water, Premier Protein shakes, or broth two ounces at a time. I've never thrown up but get waves of feeling like I can't possibly put another thing into my mouth. (Full?) I also had a hiatal hernia repaired; not sure if that matters. Once or twice my husband cooked something and it smelled good, but usually I have no interest. I think the hardest part is just wondering if everything I am feeling is "normal". I love this site and the support, but if you read the complication stories it can scare you. My incision sites are still tender, especially when I walk. I guess I'm doing ok. Certainly could be much worse! Really and truly, everything I have experienced so far has been way better than I anticipated. Thanks for letting me ramble.

I also feel pressure there. I was able to force liquids down fine but now every time I take even the tiniest sip my chest/stomach hurts and I'm burping for a good minute finding it really hard to drink at all now

[Oma letting go 14]

I think I felt that, too, once or twice. It seems to come in waves. For a while I can drink with no discomfort, then wham, pressure, gurgling, discomfort.

This, too, will pass! We will see the light at the end of the tunnel!

[colleen331 2]

Ad5707 I get the same thing. Not every sip but occasionally get pain in chest or sometimes belly and then need to burp. My nut told me it is because we are still swollen and that it is normal.

1/25 here, too. I've had the same gurgles. I think it's Co2 working its way out of my body from the surgery

mine was the 27th. my incision sites are not too bad now. just waiting on steri strips to come off. have to do blood thinner shots for 30 days so those sting a little and leave occasional little bruises

i find myself getting tired early evening and by 9pm i am so ready for bed. guess thats just my body healing. OH YEAH and the ITCHING! wow these things must be healing nice because wow o wow they itch.\

i am SO sick of liquids and i am struggling to get in liquid and Protein goals. just ready to chew something even though i am not hungry. some sips of liquid give me a lot of pressure but i am assuming that is just the swelling

[ad5707 9]

I feel the exact same way
