Hi all, I am new to this forum. I did silent background research before I made the decision to have this done. I honestly thought I could go this alone, but the support is needed. Normal eating people don't know and understand the struggles we have to go through. I had the sleeve on Monday, July 6, 2009. My doctor originally wanted me to the gastric by-pass surgery but the sleeve appealed to me better. His decision was based on the research. Anyway, I am home and trying my best to get in the Protein. 60-85 grams a day is hard. Its the sipping that irritates me more than anything. I do have a question: I am trying to distinguish the difference in hunger and gas. (yes, I can't tell) When I drink or eat, my stomach begins to make churning noises immediately and I either have to burp or close my eyes to let the feeling pass. Is this my new hunger and will I always have this gas build up or is this the gas from surgery? :lol0:

Hey Ash, It depends on your care givers. I didn't feel a thing when I woke up. I am 8 days post. You should be singing like a canary in August. :lol0:
