11 Days Post-Op And Feeling Great.

It's hard to believe that I had major surgery just a little over a week ago. My incisions are completley healed and I have no more pain or discomfort of any kind. I am getting in my water and protein and I am almost never really hungry. I have had a couple of bouts of head hunger but nothing I couldn't get through by simply changing my thoughts to something else. The only real difficulty has been getting through the phases of diet progression. I really want something solid to eat like crackers or cheese in my belly...lol The other thing I've noticed is that the thought of sweets turns my stomach! I want savory things instead. I think it has to do with the fact that everything I'm eating now has a sweet flavor-puddings, yogurts etc. And don't even get me started on those nasty sweet flavored protein drinks!!!!! I can't stand protein drinks anymore...lol But its a small price to pay for good health so I gripe and complain but still follow the rules. I've lost 10 pounds in 11 days so I'm not complaining. :)

Yaay! I am glad you are doing great! I was the same, no issues whatsoever. I dont mind the protein drinks but I cant stand the clear ones of any kind...gross! Best of luck to you!

Glad you are doing well!! I was sleeved exactly one week ago and I have felt pretty darn good.. if not fabulous ever since.. No issues with gas, nausea, nada... I have 3 small incisions that are maybe 1/2-3/4" long and they are healing very nicely! I am so grateful to have come through this surgery with flying colors!! YAY for us!!!

@FindingMyself, I was sleeved in Corona California by Dr. Benjamin Leong. I had terrible gas pains for the first 2 days but smooth sailing thereafter. I'm glad everyone is doing well on their journeys as well! :)
