I was sleeved on May 15, I feel the same way. Someone mentioned on here to me that it was because the liquid mkves through the stomach faster. today was my first day on semi soft foods and I still felt the same way.

Congratulations!!

Thanks MI.. mmm your "meal" sounds heavenly! Congrats on your success so far!

Oh my gosh!! I felt the same way, I finally poodled two days ago and I thought I heard angels singing.

I know those pesky commercials are the worst for me. I just read somewhere that if you want to eat healthy,, eat foods that don't have a commercial!

So, I am new to this site (meaning mostly lurking, reading and learning from everyone) I decided to write my story because I feel like something is wrong with me because nothing is wrong. I read every post where there seems to be some horrible side effect or condition. Don't get me wrong.. After surgery I had an allergic reaction to some pain medicine that I was given and could not function and was kept in the hospital an extra day. I decided to give up all pain meds and felt much better, but during the two days where the hospital was injecting me every few hours I seriously was questioning my decision to have surgery. Once at home things greatly improved and I needed no medicines, was not nauseous and had no trouble swollowing. I do struggle with getting in all the Protein and Water in but I get more in each day and currently am getting in about 40-50 grams of Protein and between 30 oz (bad day) to 50 oz (good day) of Water. I use sugarfree popcicles, broth and Jello to help. My tummy makes a a symphony of noises now, gurgles, swirls, twirls and more, I occaisonally feel head hunger especially when watching tv and all the food commercials come on. I walk a lot, to get all the gas out and boy oh boy there was/is a lot. I think it is mostly out now. I am trying to follow my dr's plan as much as I can. My Dr's protocol is thin liquids for 15 days, then soft foods for 15 days, then slowly introduce regular foods one at a time obviously focusing first on protein while maintaining a 600 calorie diet. The one thing I am having a hard time with is feeling full. I don't feel hungry and I dont feel full. Maybe because I am only on liquids but I can sip all day. It takes me 20 min to 30 to drink a full bottle of protein. Anyhow,,, thanks for letting my voice my journey this far.

ps,, as a side note I know that people have very strong opinions here and things can get quite heated,,, to clarify,, I am not bragging, complaining just looking to share and learn. Thanks and I hope you have much success!

I am in the same boat, getting sleeved this Wednesday the 15 too! it is ALL I can think about.

yes, in fact that I am having surgery next week and the only thing I fear is the loose skin that is to come. I would rather have the loose skin than be unhealthy and overweight.

May 15 for me!!!! Excited and a wee bit nervous.
