Hey guys,

Need a little advice. I am day 5 post op ( full liquids) & am waiting for the "other shoe" to drop. Like its just too good to be true.

Please know I'm not bragging I'm seriously worried that somethings wrong.

I haven't thrown up- not once. Haven't felt nautious, haven't had gurgling, or pain when drinking. No problems with "surgical gas". I can do my Protein shakes but I don't want them. ( I want glorious creamed soups). I can drink Water. I can fart. Etc... I don't have that feel it go down issue.

I feel like did they even do the sleeve? I have pain at incision sites but thats it.

I am worried bc I was ready to have all those problems & bc I have none of them I feel like maybe they made me too big on the inside?

Anyone else feel no difference on the inside post op?

allons-y

My surgery is tomorrow and I hope I feel as good as u do!!

I had the same experience, surgery was a breeze and I went back to work after only 3 days off. I'm 2 weeks 4 days today and I still feel great except I am sick to death of creamy soups and I want real food !!!! Unfortunately I have a week and a half of liquids left then on to 4 weeks of mushy and 4 weeks of soft. I say just be thankful and enjoy it

That's the only thing that made me believe I actually had the surgery. I have lost 90 lbs in almost 7 months . Enjoy the ride!!

I feel the same way!! It's amazing. Just a little gas here and there, but I think this is how you should feel! Just take it as a blessing and be thankful. I would not try to find the negative in things, look ahead to the positives. Keep to the diet the doctor ordered and you'll be on your way soon enough. I'm 6 days post op and I keep looking forward to the great life ahead of me!

Thanks guys!

Be very thankful. I had a horrible recovery (lots of pain, gas, medication snafu on day 5 - had to go to the ER cuz of bad reaction - apin upon drinking anything too cold or too hot, etc).

Ur 1 lucky girl. Count ur lucky stars and keep on drinking!

You are bless I'm not having much mild exp but I wish mines was a breeze and I was on your state I will be up n out this house lol

Congrats on your surgery and you are lucky

I think you have to remember that people who have issues are the ones who post about them. Those who had a vanilla recovery, really don't make the post such as yours. It's like product reviews.

Hey, I bought this knife and it cut a tomato just like it was supposed to!

Nope, you hear from the people who had problems:

Hey, I bought this knife and it won't even cut a tomato. Then when I tried to wash it, it fell apart! What did I do wrong?! I knew this knife would be a failure!

I'm actually glad that she posted how great her surgery has been so far....my surgery is tomorrow and reading other people post has really freaked me out so it's great to hear things like this!!!!

Most people have great surgeries. Mine was a breeze and I had no issues what so ever. Like P man said... Most people who post are the ones complaining, but there are just as many if not more who are like us and breeze right through it.

Mine was extremely simple and I kind of feel bad about posting because of the unfortunate some who have a awful time.

My surgery was in Vegas ... outpatient. In at 7:00 am, back at the Golden Nugget by noon. Took a 4 hour nap and then out and about for a walk. Went to a nice restaurant with my wife (nothing for me, thanks, my stomach is a little restless), then played blackjack for about an hour. Back to the room about 9:30 and slept great. Next day, walked no less than 5 miles out and about Vegas. Laid out at the pool (with a towel over my belly area) and read. Took a nap.

I agree with Ms. I believe the majority of folks fly right though this procedure. As the OP pointed out, because of the folks having issues, you hate to post these easy-breezy stories because you may come off as bragging or some other negative interpretation.

The best thing to do is to look at how much you're able to eat/drink before you feel full. My guess is that it's not even close to where it was before!! :-)

You are truly blessed - and there are several people that have had similar experiences!

I had a very smooth recovery too. No vomiting, nausea or major pain. I was so prepared for so much worse and thrilled when it didn't happen!

I don't see it as bragging!! I love to hear this because that it isn't always bad. I still need one more thing off my list before I'm approved. So I'm glad to hear this. I hope I'm as lucky as you all.
