So I'm 6 days post op and I'm on full liquid. I'm not eating a lot my main focus is staying hydrated. I learned the hard way that anesthesia plus morphine equals nausea city for me so that extended my hospital stay from over night to 4 days. I'm not hungry at all. Having all these different feelings in my new belly and not sure what they are but I'm sure non of then is hunger yet. Like I said main focus right now is hydration because I would hate to end up back in the hospital. Let me know where some of you were 6 days out and what you were doing

I didn't have any issues in the hospital, but at 6days out I was right about where you are. I am at 2.5 months now and I still rarely feel hungry..... If it wasn't for my work schedule and my family eating dinner I could easily forget to eat anything at all. Everything starts to get better once you are on the semisolid phase. Congrats on your surgery and good luck!!

I am 7 days out today, today was the first day I was able to get 64oz Water and 60 grams of Protein in. I too had a rough go after surgery. Apparently my stomach was adhered to my spleen and there was lots of scar tissue from when I attempted to have the lap band in 2005( this surgery was aborted due to a stomach perforation)

The sleeve surgery generally takes an hr or so, mine took 3 1/2 hrs.

I woke up after surgery with really bad dry heaving, same issue the following morning. I thought I was good to go home and sure enough it happened at home. I called my surgeon and he called in a Rx for Zofran.....ahhhh...what a huge difference!!!

Gas pain is gone. Going on short walks with my doggie and really working on Protein and Water. I too am having weird feelings in my belly....hunger or just wishing I could have something other than Soup, shakes, pudding? Who knows... I just keep repeating "mind over matter". LOL

Best wishes!!!!

At 6 days I was eating Jello, chicken broth, hot tea and Water. I was walking every few hours to keep away from blood clots. And I had my first emotional outburst of tears! First and only thank goodness!
