When will I feel comfortable again?



Recommended Posts

I am almost 5 weeks out and I am on soft foods. I am so happy with what my sleeve is doing for me. It's just that I feel some kind of, for lack of a better word, weirdness in my stomach all day. Whether it's heartburn, hunger, gas, nausea or like food is not going down, I never feel comfortable. It's very distracting. Any feed back on this?

You're still healing from major surgery. Give it time. I know you just want to get on with life and be normal, but it will take time for you to get used to the way your new tummy feels. It really won't always be that way. I feel totally normal, and did from about 3 months on.

I'm almost three weeks out and feel the same, it's a strange feeling, it's sort of like when you are pregnant (not sure of your a mum) but even when you aren't thinking about it something reminds you.

Hopefully it doesn't last too much longer for you

Took about 4 months before I felt "right".

I'm 4 weeks out and feel the same way. I met with my doctor the other day and told her I feel like crap but I couldn't tell her why, I'm not tired, I'm not hungry, I'm in a little pain but not a lot, I just feel like absolute crap.

I am also LOUD! It's embarrassing trying to have a conversation with someone and have to keep excusing myself. My kids say they are my dinosaur noises.

Thank you all for responding. Now on top of it I am all of a sudden having a problem getting my crystal light down. Only thing that goes down good are my shakes and yogurt and I am supposed to be on my second week of soft foods. Everything I try seems to just feel like it's sticking in my esophagus for a long time. I chew every bite and only take a bite the size of a pea.

I had an issue with crystal light and found out my body was treating crystal light like real sugar. It was causing dumping

      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.
