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.

Hello magpie30.. so I thought the same thing about weird feeling as I progress to cream of wheat.. do u feel ur food going down into ur new stomach? It doesn't hurt but man its weird. Will it always be this way? Sleeved 5/10

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.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
