Confused. Feel the same?

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

  • 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.

    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 l

  • 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 thing

My husband and I had no issues. I'm 9 weeks post op and ice only once gotten too too full. Nothing bothers my sleeve. Or nothing that I've fed it anyway, which has been all protein.

Really many of us felt almost nothing except a little tired.

My surgery went smoothly & I felt great! Went in at 6am & came home around 12:30pm, I was an outpatient. Never had any issues with nausea, vomiting or gas.......I was pleasantly surprised!

My surgery went much the same way. My only issue was tht I had a slow heart beat in recovery and spet the first night in cardiac ICU. After that it was a breeze. I had such and easy time drinking fluids I was chugging over 80 oz of water and my protein shakes and actually felt hunger (for me it is a steady ache right at my belly area - I thought it was excess acid and asked to up my dose of Omoprezole but they told me it was hunger. Nice that I got to keep THAT) i accelerated my programs plan and again: NO PROBLEMS. No pain no leaks no dizziness no vomiting no excessive pain no fatigue no nothing. I have lost slower due to moving food stages so quickly (I was told AFTER the fact that my program's lengthy liquid stage is for speedy weight loss in the beginning as much as extra caution) but I have been fine!

I did expel a stitch from one of my incisions. Doc said normal...some people's bodies reject the stitches. It was only on and may not have been tacked right so it was easy to expel. It wasn't from my tummy but from the incision where they ganked my stomach out.
