Why do I feel like I over drank when I just sip my water and eat a popsicle. My left side hurt to move. Not passing alot of gas

I am not sure how far out from surgery, but air trapped in your abdomen from the surgery could very well be causing it. That is something every post op patient deals with for a week or two after surgery. The feeling full after drinking will just take some getting used to. This will be the case for a long time. You will get to a point where you have to physically force yourself to eat, not because you are hungry at all, but because you have to in order to get the caloric energy to keep going. It will pass after a while and things will become normal, but relish the fact that you are never hungry and have no desire for food. For me it was a blessing not feeling so tied to food and in some respects even loathing having to deal with it. It made letting go so much easier.

Thanks. I just hate the pain and not wanting to eat or drink. But im not passing any gas. Didnt have any bowel movements today.

Hi,

I had a lot of gas after surgery and lived on Gas X strips - they were a lifesaver. I also had to use dolcolax and still do from time to time as I have a very "slow" system. When this happens my stomach feels very full.

I still have trouble wanting to eat at all, but when my energy dips, I get cranky and know I need to eat.

Still have trouble getting in all my Protein and Water....but we are a work in progress

Hang in there

Thanks. I just didnt think it would b this hard. But I know its all worth it

I have lost 96 lbs since June 30th. Initially, it consumes your every thought, but as time passes, it gets easier to work into your life and the weight loss is tremendously motivating!
You can do it!
