Mysteriously Easy So Far.

[SassyNanny 311]

Not a complaint mind you. I'm 12 days post op and have been having a very easy time of it. No nausea. No vomiting. No pain after surgery other then feeling like I had done too many sit-ups. Yes, I have a sense memory of that feeling from long long ago. lol.

I've lost 17 pounds. Dr has me on full liquids for 4 weeks. Blended Soups and fruit in Protein Drinks are ok.

My only concern is very trivial. I'm wondering if my stomach is actually little. I've sipped as instructed. Used the medicine cups. I just don't feel constricted. I never feel full or uncomfortable. Ok. My tummy is growly a bit when I eat and I toot a fair amount. I'm not feeling hungry. I'm afraid the sleeve is letting me drink too much. I'm drinking slow, but not that slow.

Small concern to have. I'm blessed that it's been so easy.

@@SassyNanny - remember liquids travel through the stomach much easier. your stomach is still healing, when you start adding solid foods you will notice.

@@SassyNanny - I forgot to add that my recovery was pretty easy too:)

Perfectly normal for some. I was back at work on day 7, and also posting here asking if something was wrong because I could so easily drink my water! We all recover and heal differently...

@@liannatx - I completely agree.

Thanks! I needed to hear that from you all.

Perfectly normal. many don't feel any constriction until they are on more solid foods.

That sounds fairly "normal" for a recovery. I was the same, minus the fact I had a hernia repair and it took me FOREVER to finish drinking or anything. Now that I am on pureed foods, I notice I get full MUCH faster than if I am eating a Soup. I had sweet potatoes for my thanksgiving meal- and couldn't even eat 1/2 of a piece of one mushed up and I got that "omg I am so full I am sick" feeling. I HATE that feeling.

I had hernia repair as well. Thanks for your insight. It really helps.
