I am having surgery April 25th. I'm starving! Hope it gets better after surgery. Having surgery in Florida, then going home in Ohio for the summer. Good luck.

That's a good way of looking at it. I think it will be easier once I'm back on solid food. I've been on Clear liquids for 8 days now.

I miss eating. This was my first weekend home after having gastric sleeve on Monday April 25th. The weekends were all about cooking as a family and eating. It felt kind of strange. I didn't know what to do while everyone else was enjoying their meals. I know it will get easier once I'm able to eat solid food again, but I'm defiantly feeling the same way. food was such an improtant part of my life and now that I'm not eating its hard to fill the void.

My 5/18 sleeve update...
I was sleeve at 8am, suppose to have been noon, but I didn't get that call until 630am that morning from OR nurse that they moved my time up 4 hours...ugh, made mad dash to hosp, was in OR by 820... woke up by 10am in recovery, it took 1 hour to take my gallbladder and sleeve me... "shrunk liver 2016" really does work...my M.D. said he should YouTube my surgery for VSG , anyway up to a room by 1030am with pain pump and lidocaine Patches on my my scars to help with pain also... up walking by 2pm, hit pain pump up by 4pm, I/s every hr, up by 6pm, up by 9pm...always take a hit of pain pump when walking assisted... sleep on/off whenever the iv alarms &nursing would allow... up by 6am today, walking, 830 leak test... contrast was not bad, BUT was allowed to drink thru a straw... by 930am the start of day 1-2 of liquids only , goal 48oz along with my 1000cc bag of Water... (b4 being discharge hold on to those iv fluids until you walk outdoor) pain pump discontinued at 1100????, oh btw on 6 oz h20 by now (1-2 oz a hr) yes it's hard but I push thru... D/C from hospital by 230,got home sore, made me a Percocet and raglan cocktail with 2 oz water... setting my timer at every hour 1-2oz Water with walking... I'm going to get me a t-shirt made with"i survived liquid diet 2016"... it's funny cuz I didn't even worry about a scale the whole time

check with your dietician
Healthy carbohydrates will be added back in to your diet after you have reached 75% of your weight loss.
Weight loss phase - Carbohydrates will be restricted.
Maintenance Phase- Healthy carbohydrates added back into your meals. whole wheat, brown rice or plant based. They will still be in small amounts.

I'm so glad for this post. I too have wondered the same thing but was too scared to mention it. I'm definitely one that has hidden behind my size for years. Not sure how I'm going to handle the attention, but one thing I am hoping to find is my backbone!!

I too am 6 weeks and suffered this very issue just last week. Thanks to the advice of some people on here, I found out I was eating too fast, and not chewing well enough.
Once I started slowing down and really chewing, all symptoms went away and I'm back to eating with no problem at all.

April 25th here! My pains are lower like where the staples are and they come in spasms. Usually when my stomach is empty. IE: morning, and late at night. Can't wait for this phase of the journey to be done. Sent from my XT1254 using the BariatricPal App

I also had surgery on April 25 and I know exactly what you are talking about. My pains are mostly when I eat something. It feels like a big burp stuck for a moment and then goes away. I just figure it is our bodies adjusting to the new plumbing. I think things are going to be weird for a while until we are completely healed. I've been eating creamed Soup and pudding OK. I can't believe how LOUD my stomach is when I eat something. Sounds like a couple of cats fighting. Hopefully this will get better also. Good Luck!
