I was sleeved 5/16 and I'm just now getting to the point where I think I'm hungry! Although I torture myself by looking at delicious recipes and cooking videos, I had no desire to actually consume food for the past 19 days. It may have been the pain, but I understand the hungry hormone in the stomach is removed once you have the surgery, so that I'm sure is the real reason I wanted no food. Pain management is real, take your time healing and getting back to normal. Don't rush your healing. Cold Water is the devil!! I couldn't drink it cold until this week without feeling like my insides were coming out. Use medicine cups religiously to avoid that feeling also. I ordered some from Amazon. You will feel like yourself almost, except really sore in the middle. Lol Walking and other activities can be done with ease, it's just up to you if you will have the energy and will power to do it. I was able to walk long distances almost immediately but I'm taking advantage of my leave of absence from work and sitting tight until I have to go back so no real workouts just yet. I experienced pain in my shoulder from the gas during surgery- very odd pain- but walking is the only thing that relieves it. Hope you don't get it. The Protein shakes actually make me nauseous now so I'm having issues trying to get my daily protein requirement. Whatever you do- DO NOT try and eat earlier than doctors orders- it's not worth it!!
