Sitting here in the hospital 24 hrs after surgery. Really questioning myself. The nurses are telling me I am doing great. But it hurts to drink. Hope to go home in a few hours. Is feeling down normal?

The heating pad did the trick. Thank you!!!! Feels so good.

@@o2bskinny wow.... Perfectly put

Just remember, what you're feeling now won't be what you're going to be feeling 1 week, 3 months, a year from now. The pain and discomfort is all temporary. You'll get through it, and come out a stronger, healthier, happier person in the end. I promise.

yep I was sleeping the 9th and have the same problem. I hope you start to feel better soon

I have to say 48 hours makes a big difference. It quickly gets better. But the first 48 hours is hard. I am glad I had support from all of you. Heating pad was a god send.

4 Days post op. Was still starving after surgery. Is something wrong ? Im still craving food. Had 2 bites if yogurt yesterday feel like im starving Protein shakes aren't the best either. Please someone say im not alone in this battle for a healthier life. I even crave food more now than i ever did b4

you have hunger hormone still in your system. I was quite hungry the first week - but after that not usually. a little hungry maybe twice a day, have to make sure I eat on schedule otherwise my tummy complains when I do eat.

U are not alone!!!!!! I just crave everything ...... Today I had mashed potatoes, never really felt "full" but for some reason just stopped eating. A normal serving for some reason was broken up into 3. I think this is my new full? But yes, commercials, smells, life... I just want so many different things

@@nervousnelly719, @@lisyl & @@laura_rose16 - I think you all are experiencing the norm for most:

buyers remorse (it does get better)

head hunger (craving food, when you are NOT really hunger)

the realization of your new "full" (yes 1 former serving now = 3 servings!)

Stay on plan provided by your medical team: hydrate, move and protein!

Stay off the scale, or only weigh weekly!

Measure yourself now so when the scale doesn't move you can see the NSV in the tape measurement

Head hunger and acid reflux will make you feel this way. Surgery isn't a magic fix for you to never crave the things you love. I love baked goods and I crave them constantly. It'll get better, I promise!

The only advise I can give you is sip sip sip....You will feel better I promise! Best to you!!

My two days in the hospital and first two days at home were kinda lousy. But by the time I got to purees in week two, I had "cabin fever" and would have bounced off the walls if I had any energy. I was just bored of TV, reading, and resting.

If your new tummy has not been making gurgling noises yet, it will. My "Miss Tummy" sounded like a dinosaur fight for three months!

Your first year will be up before you know it.

but how do u know, in the beginning when you "full" or satisfied for a better term?

I'm 3 weeks post-op and I usually begin to burp constantly and sort of feel my food trying to come up. That's how I know I'm full or probably ate too fast.

I got sleeved 3 weeks ago and had the same discomfort but this is normal and nothing to worry about it. Cheers!
