I am 19 days post op and can truly relate. I am craving everything over here and then some. I am on still on liquids, yogurt ,pudding soups and applesauce. I can't have mu shies until day 21. I am having a hard time.

OH I am so glad to hear that u are enjoying my youtube post. That was the total purpose of doing it so that others can see that it is not that bad. I will continue to post and give updates. At this time I am struggling a little bit with getting in sum full liquids. I was doing great and then I think I over did it by eating the wrong thing. Just waiting for it to relsove and hoping for the best. Other wise I feel good. No pain just sum sorness at the incision site. keep watching

Well surgery was yesterday in the am. I was out of it all day fading in and out. i did get up and walked twice but that was it. i feel a little crampy and sore more so than pain. The cramping is in my chest. IS THAT NORMAL?I was told that its probably the drain. I can't explain its like a funny sensation I have been tolerating my liquids very well no vomiting or nausea.No purple in the bag. I lust feel tired sleepy with this weird sensation I am hoping is the drain. Dr A and Dr C are great they are checking on me around the clock. The nurses are so sweet and compassionate.I feel like a celebrity So I just wanted say hello and thanks to all of you who have prayed and sent out positive vibes. Luv u guys

Ok....so I m not going crazy. Started the full liquids today and I feel pressure but not full. I stopped because I had a 1/2 cup cream soup and a few bites watermelon. I didnt feel full but I felt funny so I stopped. I dont wanna push.....now the problem is I still feel hungry. Wow getting to know my sleeve is no joke. I hope it gets better....

Oh I can't wait to try that!!!

Wooooo whooooo!!!! Ur sleeved ur on the losers bench now lady...I am moving over for u! Congrats :Banane57:

Wonderful...wonderful! I knew it would all work out. I am so happy for u. You are now offically sleeved and on the losers bench. Speedy recovery......

I was looking forward to no tfeeling hungry like so many describes. I was also looking to not having a craving for food but right now all I keep thinkingbout is rice and beans.Ive' been drinking and eating soup but it ain't doing nothing for me.I did look at my xray of my new stomach and it is smaller but boy oh boy does my appetite say something different. I feel a little heartburn and a little gas pain but I dont feel full like i thought I would. Ok what the hell? I want my food cravings to go bye-bye why are they still here?

Ok guys...quick update! So it wasnt head hunger or none of that. I was feeling hungry because of the acid in my sthomach. Spoke with my doc and he said that the stomach is still producing a lot of acid. Having a stomach full of acid gives u the feeling of having an empty stomach. He said that I needed to take my nexium in the am of course on an empty stomach ...then another nexium 2 hrs before bed. This will help to reduce the acid in my stomach and the hunger pain should go away. Well lo and behold... I did it for one night and it made a differnce. I no it will get better. I was not starving all day...go figure. My surgeon is the bomb diggity... so pass the word on to others who may be having the same issues.

THXS Suzanne....I c all your wonderful postings around everywhere. U always give such great advice!!!

Celebrity awwww that is the sweetest thing!! Thank u Boo!!!!! Well I am glad to see that u are choosing this journey and Dr A u will be in great hands. Thanks for the support and for checking out my channel.

OMG do I feel u.....I stay hungry. I'm only 6 days out and I'm on clear liquids only. I swear I'm having a tough time. I was so looking forward to not feeling hungry like so many described. If 80% of my stomach is gone why the hell is the other 20% starving. I cook for my kids and wanna eat so bad. I pray it gets better. At least when I get to puréed foods I can't sumthin more thick. We gotta hang in there that's all.

Thank U so much appreciate the feedback.....Girl Ur day is here. OMG... I am so excited for u! U will do fantastic. Seraphina is right behind u on Dec 1. At least u guys get to meet each other there. I was the only one there the entire week. I will be sending prayers up for u. You will do fine! But since u guys are just a week behind me we are still sleeve sisters. I am feeling better still have gas and lil reflux. Can not get in the Protein or Water but, im doing my best. Energy is picking up a bit. Please keep us posted. Best Wishes

I used to be able to do the protein shakes before surgery now I can't even come close to getin it in. Lordy.....I can't wait for food. OK i guess I gotta try this unjury stuff.

Wow...I am 6 days post op and I am hungry all the time. I was looking forward to not being hungry. But I feel u though I can't get it in either. The protein clear shakes I cant stand and I no Im not gettin in my water. I can't wait for pureed foods. they keep saying it gets better and I can't wait.

Wow..that is awesome. Girl if I could lose 100lbs in 6 months I wouldn't no how to act. great story! U look great!!

Ill send prayers up for both of u. Much sucess on ur journey.

This a great Question cause I have a 2 year old as well. I was sleeved 11/22 In fact I am a single mom of 3 lil ones all under 8. But my girl is so independent she likes to do everything on her own. She does like to be picked up but I told her I cant. So I sit down and let her sit on my lap. For everything else I have devised a system. I have a step stool on every floor. So she steps in the tub and out on the stool. She steps up on the stool into her crib and out. She steps on stool to get n my bed. She climbs up into her car seat. U have got to explaain to ur 2yr old that u cant pick her up. But u can give hugs just help her be more independent. I m gonna give myslef about 4 weeks as well. Congrats..

Thxs everyone.....I appreciate all the love. @ Mim u r so right with everything u said. I'm gonna b patient. Such good words of advice.

My experience with Dr Aceves and his team has been awesome. Everyone has been so attentive and kind. The nurses don't speak much english but they do the best they can in getting u what u need. I have some cramping but for the most part that's it. I have been treated with such respect and the hospital is very clean. I must say this has been a very good experience. I have nothing but good things to say about my time here. I do feel hungry which I thought I wouldn't but i hope this is just a mind thing. Anyway I leave Friday and will be heading home. If u want to check out my journey i am on youtube MsLadyKanKan. Thxs

thank u!

Thanks for the prayers surgery was uneventful. I still have some cramping and a lil gas pain but over all I feel ok. I have been able to drink and sip soups. I am 2 days post op and moving around. Thanks so much for your prayers. Keep them coming as I recover. Much luv....

Oh I am not sure why your experiencing this. I am post op 2 days and have had no issues swallowing. I do feel crampy and a lil tight in my chest but no pain while drinking. Maybe u have a lot of gas that needs to be released. Keep walking take sum gas x strips and talk to your doctor. It should get better.
