I agree. Years out, You will have less sleeve restriction but your stomach wont be back to full size.

by the end of week 4 you will feel like you never had surgery....

So today I had my first strong craving for a food. I’m 3 weeks out and don’t plan on going back to bread at all bc I know it’s a very big weakness for me. Any suggestions for a grilled cheese alternative?
I made pretzels with Protein Powder, egg whites and psyllium powder the other day but I don’t know if I can use this same recipe to make a fake bread.
Anyone find an alternative to this that was good?

the first week i could not sleep much.. trying to lie down with a super sore stomach was impossible.. i had to sleep sitting in a chair.. only after i took my pain pills...now more than a month later i sleep normal...

Ah, yeah, I didn't look at how far out you were! Yep, like @notmyname, at 3 months, I was having a Protein Shake a day (each one had 25g of protein)

heck i really did not follow the pre opt diet except for one day before surgery lol..

So Friday was a normal day felt pretty good stopped to see a friend and ended up having a drink which led to to many and proceeded to eat and drink all night long boy did i feel like **** Saturday at work ate a lot of bad stuff not alot of it just bar food(deep fried garbage ) still paying for it today feeling like i failed over the weekend and now i must be more diligent about what i eat and drink period did all the wrong things over the weekend and i know it first time in ten months i have really slipped off so feeling really guilty about it and through all of this i was able to drop below 200lbs still do not fell good about it i know it only 1 pound that was a bugger of a 1lb so back on the horse that threw me now and staying focused on me not the good time (that really was not that much fun ) oh by the way ALM is not as good at drinking as i once was for sure rant over thanks for listening

after surgery i really could not eat much.. you could be feeling weak from lack of calories or you blood sugar going to a level your not use to...

2 weeks 2 days out from surgery lost 18 pounds

it's a myth that hunger feeling go away after sleeve surgery..i am a example myself..

has anyone had any complications following gastric sleeve surgery... a little more than a day after surgery i developed breathing issues i got checked out and doc said i had aspiration pneumonia i got treated and i am doing fine now...

being unconscious during the operation helped a lot

i just got sleeved on the 11th and just got home..i am in a lot of pain in my stomach area.. when did your pain really go away after the surgery.. when did you finally feel you were turning the corner.. i need some inspiration...i have been saying to myself what did i do....having the surgery...

things won't be awesome after surgery prepare for thirst a lot of pain no bowel movements feeling cold.. but eventually things will turn...

Me too. I'm not swollen that much but I'm hurting pretty bad. That's normal though im guessing considering the beautiful trauma my body just went through. Still super scary so I understand

i am almost similar to you but 10 days out i still feel stomach pain i can't stand the foods i am eating uh ....

i for awhile have needed naproxen for pain when i need it once in a while sometimes 1 or 2 pills a week.. now after having the surgery that option is off the table.. i don't if i need it have to depend on narcotic pain killers for chronic pain...

Right after surgery they want you to drink 4 ounces in 1 hour. Space it out. 11 ounces in 30 min is a lot in my opinion.

do you all wish you had a hospital bed at home following the surgery?
