oh yes, i remember the first few weeks post op. Just miserable....I didn't dream about food but that is not uncommon. Hold out until your doc oks for solid food, it is hard to digest at first and makes your tummy feel really weird. Hang in there, you can do it!!!!

I was sleeved Monday as well. Yes the gas is reficulous. Even when i sip Water i get gas. But its to be expected for at least 6 weeks.

You will also feel lots of pain when moving r/t the large incision that they actually pulled the stomach out of.

Its hard but hang in there. We are sleeve sisters.

Oh, you poor things! I was sleeved 24 days ago and have never felt better. Post-op pain lasted less than a day and except for one major bought with gas pains, I haven't had a complaint. I am now on a soft diet with ground meats and have tolerated everything I tried. I was so fortunate not to have pain because I am limited to Tylenol for pain and that wasn't going to cover much. Hold on, I'm sure it will get better as you heal. I do know that I spend most of my day thinking about food right now, but not sure I have dreamed about it. That will get better I'm told as the new way of eating becomes more normal. I am getting tired of being obsessed about this sleeve. Hopefully, soon will get back to thinking about what used to occupy my mind.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
