Hello sleepers! I'm 12 days post op. I just want to know at what point did you start to feel like you had a normal stomach again. Today I'm obviously in regret stage I'm down 11lbs or more and I am been doing on for most part except that I hate hate the fact that I don't feel normal anymore. I drink I feel all my insides if I eat I feel all my insides.... It's so annoying. When do I eat ever again and just eat without such feelings. HELP? Motivation needed!

LOL I PUT

Sleepers! Haha sorry

I'm 8 weeks out this week and my stomach doesn't feel like my old one, which was my previous "normal." I'm VERY glad that my stomach has changed! It makes crazy noises sometimes, it can get cranky, it is not particularly fond of sugar, it doesn't like turnips or G2, it is gassy and acts like a diva. Hmmm.... I haven't named my sleeve yet and that seems appropriate. Diva Sleeva or Sleeve Diva ...will work on that.

I'm a year post op and you do return to normal. i would say around 4-6 months

I am a year and it took m some timeto figure out what I can eat...there will be some things that u ate all the time before the surgery that u might never eat again... I cant eat steak anymore. Its take too long to chew and it is hard to digest. Make sure u take advantage of ur current stage....u wont have an appetite...but it will copme back out of no where!!!!!!

As already stated it takes about 6 months to be able to get a good appetite back, at about 1 year you can really start to eat a lot more and about 2 years out you can really pack away the food - although NOTHING like what you can pre-op. So use the time well to train yourself in good eating habits.

I'm only 6 days out so I'm not 'there' yet but I really think we find a new sense of normal over time. I wouldn't want to go back to feeling like my old stomach because that's what made me obese. Eventually we'll get to a point where it will feel okay to eat food and our sleeves won't be so rough. Mine makes a lot or noise too and I get pain if I eat or drink too fast. I think it's about it adapting and us adapting to work with it. We'll get there!

I am 2 months post op and I already notice that I can eat more then right after the surgery and it scared me I am still not normal but I feel great. the one thing what I still didn't learn to stop before I start burping...... and probably chew very well.

Thanks all I have intake control and I'm not really hungry because I'm following my plan its the yucky stomach feeling that I hate so much at this point. I don't want to feel so yucky when eating but time will work it out. It sounds like 6 months is the turning point keeping positive is key

But I don't want my stomach to be normal again

Delta, Normal doesn't mean to be Huge and able to eat a elephant

we are talking about all this sound/felling which it does now when we put a little more then it can hold.

Lol yeah I don't want my old stomach I just want to NOT FEEL every sensation imaginable when eating I want to simply know when it will all regulate to a normal feeling lol right now nothing feels normal or good lol

I'm now 5 days out and feeling a lot better than I was before, but yeah, every sip is met with some kind of gurgle or reply from my stomach, not to mention the sharp pain if I have anything without sitting upright. (Guess my posture will improve as well ). My problem is that my doctor wants me to spend the 3 weeks post surgery consuming only yogurt, milk, protein shakes, and pureed fruit, I'm on day 3 of this and am already soooo bored and hating protein shakes.
