God I hope so. This eating like a bird sucks.

Sounds like pancreatitus to me. I had it and had to go to the ER. This was before my surgery tho. I doubt this far out its surgery related. Mine was triggered by a hamburger. Fatty, greasy foods do it. Pain is right where you stated and sometimes can radiate to back. Its a a nagging pain, not SHARP but its definitely there and you can feel it move around a little. Gullstones are possible too

I too am in the same boat. No problems whatsoever. No pain after surgery, no nausea, no problems with food. Matter of fact, Im not doing anything I am supposed to be. No Vitamins, not enough Protein, not enough Water, not exercising. 20 days after my surgery, I became a foster parent to 3 children...8,5 and 10 mo. And my life got turned upside down. Im single and trying to take care of them and getting a routine down has consumed all my time. Im so thankful that my surgery happened when it did. I am just now starting to plan and get my self in check with everything I am supposed to be doing. I feel GREAT, ive lost 69 pounds since July 19 and loving the new me. Im actually glad that I havent been working out. I cant imagine how much I woulda lost if I had been and have all that excess skin. I only have a little bit of hair loss so I like you, feel bad because I know Im not trying and those that are.....well.......are having some rough times.

Down 32 pounds since surgery sleeved the 17th. Was stalled for a week but dropped a pound today

My surgeon wants everyone to take 30 days off. I could have easily went back after a few days but to be honest, the learning of what foods to eat, what to make, what works and what doesnt is essential. I have a comfy computer job (Robotic Engineer) for Toyota and felt I needed to take the full amount. However everyones insurance isnt the same. I used short term disability. Some might not have that option.

I had a hiatal hernia repaird too and didnt have any of those symptoms. Was hard to swallow due to it for a day or so but thats it

What app are you referring too?

I have tried soda and had absolutely no problems at all. Of course you cant drink much of it but for me theres no pain, no bloating ect like some say. It does NOT stretch the sleeve like some might suggest. Just do it in moderation

No drain for me!!!

Mine was 45 minutes (plus repairing a hiatal hernia) 45 min in recovery and up and walking 2 hrs after that

I too am struggling with this however, Im supposed to advance at day 14. Im at 10 right now and am about to do it. I have no pain, dont really feel restrictions yet and getting all my protein ect. I can even guzzle a few times of water and absolutely no problem.

They provided me with a mouth moisturizer for that and also a mouthwash swab

For you guys that cant eat much now on normal foods, when you were on your full liquids phase did you have any problems with the yogurt, soup, protein shakes, ect? Im not having any problems with this and am worried that I wont be as restricted as you guys are.

Ya im dreading going tomorrow. I think ill end up sucking on some!!!

Everyone is different. Ive already lost 20 pounds and Im only 9 days out
