I was sleeved yesterday and all went well. I'm pretty miserable today--that gas is no joke for sure! But I am having tiny spoons of broth and Protein juice, so hopefully that's a good sign. Set to go home tomorrow. Thanks for all the good thoughts!

The one thing that's hard to imagine immediately post-op and in the weeks ahead is that you will ever feel "normal" again. But I promise you that you will! Hang in there. It really does get better almost every day. Follow all the instructions and be patient and you will feel normal again!

Keep going! It does get better. I felt like crap for the first 3 days post the surgery and then on the 4th day, I felt like me again. I still can't drink a lot and I am drinking very slowly but the gas is dissipating and I feel much better now. You will too, just give it time, lots of rest and sleep. Like the other posters have said walk, it does help, even if you feel too tired to do it. It can be a very short walk but you'll feel the difference afterwards. Good luck!

Warmest congratulations and welcome to the losers' bench!

It's amazing how different we feel after this surgery. As @@JamieLogical said said so well...you will feel normal again and likely sooner than you think!

I remember fearing every sip and gulp at first and wondering if I was doing it wrong...drinking too fast, not enough, too often. But if you keep up with your surgeon's directives, you'll do just fine!

Best of luck on your journey!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
