Hello, I am new to the forum, and was wondering if anyone has had similar experiences. I had my sleeve surgery one week ago, Friday, January 11th 2019. After 2 days in the hospital with TERRIBLE gas pain, I was back at work with very little pain by Monday. By Tuesday, I had no problem drinking 64oz of water by 3PM. By Wednesday, my fondest wish in the universe, even more than world peace, was for an iceberg lettuce wedge salad with crumbled blue cheese, blue cheese dressing, split baby tomatoes, and crumbled bacon. This morning at work, before finding this forum, I did my usual pattern for this week. I googled "pictures of wedge salads" and fantasized. I now have a new obsession: a single meatball with marinara sauce and a little parmigiana cheese. While I am getting by on my liquid diet of water, protein shakes and cream soups at night, I fear for my sanity. On my post-op visit to my surgeon this Tuesday, I am going to tell my surgeon that I fear in 2 months I will be the skinniest guy in the nuthouse. Can anyone relate?
