Again, it's early yet. You have to allow time for your body to readjust. Also those mental habits don't magically go away. You likely wanted nachos because you always had nachos when you went to the movies. You body associates nachos with going to the movies. Kind of a Pavlovian response.
Just remember you just had the surgery. Follow the nutritionist recommendations and stop. Don't overeat/drink. try ant-acids when you think you are hungry in between. It takes a minute to tell the difference between head hungry and when your sleeve is full. Feeling like this now is normal.

My doc recommended sugar free Popsicles to help hydrate post op but I've found that most brands have sugar alcohol in them. I stopped eating them yesterday and gas pains have been greatly reduced. ( sugar alcohols cause gas in many people)
If you are recently sleeved, eating SF Popsicles and can't get rid of gas, sugar alcohol may be contributing to some of it. It seemed to be for me.

I am so afraid of blood clots that my NUT said that I must walk at least 35-45 mins a day. That was my motivation. Yesterday the mall, today kohls.

Today is my day. Who else is today? Skin prepped, mouth dry, so excited! Please send prayers/good vibes.

Davis I am feeling pretty good. I walked around the mall for two hours this morning. I am not loving the vitamins...it took me a while to eat the calcium.....and Water is not my friend but I am hoping tomorrow will be better!

My surgery if 9 Dec. 19th for gastric sleeve. Found out I'm lactose intolerant, finally switch shakes to free and feeling better bowel wise. Finished off with another 2 miles walking and 30 mins aquatic workout this morning. List is done except wrapping Christmas gifts & rest of cards to send out. Looking forward to the new me for the New Year!

Just wanted to give a quick update. Surgery was over and was back in my room at lunchtime. Had very minimal gas or pain all day long. Was discharged and home at 8pm. Once I was home my belly started feeling a little sore and gas hit. Nothing I can't handle though.
Good luck to those who are getting sleeved today!!!

Well I have crossed over to the sleeved size. Went to surgery at 9:30 and was in my room by 1:00. Worst part was waking up with nausea. I told them ahead of time and got the the nausea meds but it didn't work. Sigh, glad that's over. Got discharged at 3:30 today and I'm home. Nothing to eat for the past two days but I'm not hungry. Just going to take it easy and start on the Protein Drinks tomorrow.
Wish I would have thought to take medicines!

Hi Chris same at home and walking. It's really hard having a one year old who's clinging. Thank goodness for grandparents who are helping out. When I saw my little man I broke down in tears because this one reason for me to go through the gastric sleeve procedure. I m taking the meds buts difficult to swallow having to time it right cause it can be painful.

Amy and Davis so happy to hear you're both done and on your road to a healing healthier you's!

Surgery time is 8:15am it's now 7:40 - nurse here is great helping me come down from my anxiety - tick tock.,.

Good luck everyone. My gastric bypass is today at 2:45pm. Have to be at the hospital at 1pm. Very nervous but also very excited at the same time. Never had surgery before so this is going to be a long nervous day. Reading the posts of folks who have already had it done really helps though.

I feel like a kid on Christmas. I woke up well before my alarm and couldn't go back to sleep. I report at 8 and have surgery at 10.
Good luck to everyone starting their journey today! Sending love, prayers, and good vibes your way. ❤

On my way to the hospital! I have never been so scared in my life. I just want to make it back to my baby since I'm all she has. Good luck to us all. Prayers heading yalls way.
