I would like to schedule my surgery for the first full week in March once my insurance is approved, any other March Sleevers in the building?

Today i wasn't as hungry as yesterday' date=' but i was taken by surprise on that one! Im still struggling with trapped gas and that's my major complaint today. I think Im not hungry cuz i bumped my Water intake. However, i do know that 3 days have passed and i keep thinking how much better I'll be in another 3 days time. Fingers crossed. Im just happy yo be 3 days on the other side rather than 3 days preop![/quote']

I know in another few days I will feel better also and I am sooooo ready!!

The other thing is that with vsg we lose the hunger hormone grenelin (sp?). Many people report not being hungry ever. My Dr says it takes a bit for the hormone to get out of your system so you are hungry at first. I'm almost 2 weeks post OP and am less hungry every day. I'm at the point where I don't really care about food anymore. I hope it lasts!

Don't care about food? Is that common? That's what I'm hoping for!

So, i keep having this feeling of extreme hungrr in the top part of my new stomach; i know its gas trying to get out butitwont budge!!!! I have been sucking down gas-x strips for three days and NADA........ I even beat on my chest while my husband beat on my back, and i could feel it move, but it wont come out, what else can i do???? It makes me feel nauseous and throwing up is just something i really dont want to do right now........this is the ONLY thing that is bothering me right now????????????????????????????

When the doctor said walk to get rid of gas, trust me it worked. Nothing helped me but walking. I had to force myself but everyday gets easier.. I was also getting hungry and my Dr told me I wasn't getting enough protein.

Yes! The smell! I couldn't tell if it was the horrible taste in my mouth or what!

That means that your body is in Ketosis - a fat burning state.

Good luck to those going for surgery this week .

I was sleeved the 22nd with Dr.Aceves and am feelig pretty good!

Ooooh, i want that!! LOL

For the gas-- I've been walking didn't help I got gas x strips that dissolved on the tounge. I took two and passed major gas-- it was sick a relief. I had mine on 3/27 and the gas pains r still there just less cuz of the strips. Also, I found watered down cream of chicken to be Devine ~ so yummy warm or chilled.. It's pretty much a life savior To me at this point!

I also got gas x strips and they did help but I think for the most part walking and time is helping. Just ready to get over this hungry feeling!

I was sleeved. March 4 and still have gas,I walk and walk nothing seems to work but the walking moves the gas and when I pass I blow bombs Lol,but it be a big relief...

That's what they say. Go on you tube and search for "vehicle sleeve - treen" and choose the ABC report on DR Treen. They talk about the hormone

What is everyone's plan on when to weigh themselves for the first time ?

I went to dr they weighed me i was down 9 pounds in 10 days

I just ate my first egg since being sleeved. Tomorrow is my two week follow up with my Dr. I figgure it was safe to try. I made it VERY soft and added a little mayo. It was like eating the inside of a deviled egg.

It went down pretty good. A little pressure in the middle of my chest a few times. Needless to say I didn't eat much and my dog enjoyed the majority of it.

As of today I've lost 20.5 lbs which includes my pre-op loss of 7 lbs. I'm extremely happy with the progress so far.

My dogs are my number 1 supporters when eating lol. I can give them whatever i can't chow down.
