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?

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

I get burpy, or else my nose starts dripping. weird but common, I know.

Pocket message. Sorry.

My this is full of good questions and answers, thank you guys.

It is normal, it's crap specially with the gas, but it only gets better. Am 3 weeks post op. First week for me was not so good, but am 16 pounds down and loving it. Still ups and downs , you will be fine. Cheers for you I know how you feel

Ohhhh and try to walk as much as you can, slowly of course that helps with the gas.

I'm still pre-op, scheduled for March 31st. I've come to believe that this is kind of like having a baby in the sense that you hear all the wonderful things and aren't exactly prepared for how the actually initial experience is. Part of human nature is to remember things better than they were so the stories we read don't always include every single bad detail. Also the reward in the end is so great that it's worth the sacrifices in the begin, at least that's what I'm hoping for

Hope you feel better soon and are able to practically forget this in six months.

Kind of having a baby, you will be eating like a baby, from liquids to puree to semi solids to solids in 5 weeks. first week specially the first 3 days are bad, because you have so much gas and it hurts, but it only gets better with time and lots of walking

You will be SO happy in 2 months. Just be patient and give your body time to heal.

@@nervousnelly719 - I hiccupped or felt a tightness in my throat as I was approaching "full".

Unfortunately I did (twice) eat ONE too many bites and felt miserable for about an hour. I drank Water about twenty minutes after eating to ease the food through the stomach.

I would measure out 2 oz and chew that very well and wait (see if you are REALLY hungry for more). If you can eat another oz fine. BUT - if you feel a tightness in your throat, STOP. Spit it out if you have it in your mouth especially anything dense. In the beginning I would measure out small 2 oz portions and not push to eat more.

The gurgling stomach did happen for me too like @@Miss Mac - It did sound ridiculously loud too =O

Wow, super helpful to read your comments. I am 3 days post op. No question in my md why I did it , just want to hear that all I am experienceing is normal. Swollen abdomen, trouble ( nervousness) swallowing pills, drinking, etc... I have no desire to eat, and hopefully wont ever again. LOL. Just sayin.. Otherwise I am doing pretty good. sleeping on my reclining couch has been the best so far. I am having a few hiccups and minor burping, which causes some minor pain. I am sleepy from the pain meds but want to stay ahead of the cycle.. Hope any of this helps. I am really siked to be past the surgery part of it. I also had some kind of new "block" with anesthesia which numbs all the nerves to the abdomen and reduces post - op pain. Waiting for my Vitamin Patches to arrive. Hoping to increase my energy once I can start applying. .
