Sleeved on 2/24



Recommended Posts

I had my Sleeve done on Feb. 24, I had to spend the night in the hospital since I lived so far away. I felt ok afterwards, but still kinda sore. I have been burping a great deal and that is the only uncomfortable feeling that I really have. I don't really have a appetite, but I know that will probably change. I'm still kinda tired but I know that it should get better as time goes by. My doctor told me to not worry about Protein the first week. I just wonder if I will ever get rid of this burping!!

You will! There's a lot of gas in there from the surgery, that has to make it's way out somehow. And you may get lucky with the appetite... I started getting hungry a couple of weeks out, but a whole LOT of people never feel hunger at all after surgery! Congrats on starting your new life! :)

Congratulations. I am just over a month out now. I haven't had any true hunger yet (head hunger - yes, real hunger no).

The burping and discomfort will definitely come to an end. Each day gets better and better. The only thing I have left is tiring easily. But, even that is getting better.

Keep us informed of your progress.

Hi there and welcome to VST. The burping definitely gets better as the weeks go by, and the swelling decreases.

Keep sipping, walking and resting. Keep us posted on your progress.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
