Hi,

Where are all the March sleevers, I've seen a few but not any post recently. I am almost finished with all my the required medical approvals and classes but don't have an exact date yet.

I got my sleeve march 26 th. 3 days of just clear liquids after and for next 10 days shakes, jello, yogurt, broth. I was very nauseous and gas pains and lots of walking. Otherwise everything went well. I am getting my protein and fluids in ok. But tonight I made my family dinner. Pasta and meatballs and got some sauce on my finger and licked it now all I can think of is meatballs. I know I am not really hungry but the mental part is starving. I wish there was a way to block the mental thoughts of food. I am 5 ft 3in start weight 247 surgery date weight 235 and now 225.

Wow you've lost A lot of weight !!! I had surgery on March 28th I just got home today so far so good, the first day of post opp was complete hell I can't even begin to explain I was dry heaving and throwing up green acid !!! The minute I was allowed out of bed I got up I walked everything I had a bubble day two I walked I sat down I got up went to the bathroom went number 2 ... I have gone 3 times since the surgery and they said that absolutely perfect !! I still don't know the difference between hunger and gas pain ... My stomach grumbles either way lol I think it's mad at me for cutting it lol !! I went on phase two diet today shakes broth Popsicles stuff like that hope all is well... I started at 245 surgery day 239.5... Now 239.7

I haven't had bm yet. But all the fluids they gave me I was peeing constantly I think most of my lost was water weight. I haven't figured out hunger pain vs gas pain. But I feel like I am hungry all the time. I use a heating pad at night when I am sleeping and that seems to help a lot. These forums have help me get threw this process and prepared me for what to expect. I haven't posted much, mostly just read everything. Good luck and I hope the best for you.

Does anyone (besides me) have no interest AT ALL in eating? I can barely get all my fluids in (I been getting about 1/2 in). I told my nut this at my post op visit she said' date='"concentrate on hydration" and instead of eating 6 small meals I could put a teaspoon of something in my mouth every hr (which I don't do). I can't be the only one, can I?[/quote']

How many days out are you Linda? I am on day 6 post op and I was exactly like you for the first four days. Yesterday was better. I was able to meet all my protein and fluid goals for the day! Each day has gotten a little better!!

Hi Tannak,

I was banded March 19th.

Wow that was rough! First day posting since surgery! First two days were rough and that barium swallow test was awful. Came home from hospital by 4pm next day surgery was at 12:45pm. Didn't quite feel ready on Saturday to be home. As a matter of fact I called the Dr. about 3 or 4hrs after getting home cause I thought I was having a heart attack. The pressure in my chest from the gas was so bad. He reasurred me and I was able to relax. Things are getting better day by day. I hope all my March sleevers are doing well! Thank God I'm on the other side of the rode!

Day 5. Feeling much better. Stomach sore but gas is mostly gone! Went and got my hair cut, colored, and highlighted today. Did well though it was a little tough sitting up from getting hair washed. Felt good to have it done. Needed a pain pill when I came home though. Follow up apt with Dr. tommorrow and then on to full liquids on Friday! Can't wait!
