I was sleeved on Tuesday and have no idea what I've done to my self. :-/

I was sleeved on Tuesday also. I have had terrible hunger pains I have no regrets because I realize when I go through this first week it's going to get better. I don't know about head hunger because my stomach is growling like it's hungry, it feels like its hungry. I'm weak and the first 2 days very shakey. I am walking but it hurts to get up and down from bed or a chair. I think overall that I feel better than I expected to. I have my first post op dr appt this coming week so i guess i'll be able to check my weight at that time, otherwise not bothering with the scale. I'm very happy so far, not that much nausea just weak and sore which is expected.

Me too had surgery on Tuesday May 10th and thinking it was a huge mistake. I'm so gassy and bloated and tired. I'm walking all the time and burp the whole time I'm walking. Is that normal?

Me too May 10 also, feeling hungry and sore.

Did you all cut your intake of food a few weeks before your proceedure or eat the same until the last week? I cut 3 months before my surgery and did a green juice day before my flush day. I was empty and have had no hunger since. A lot has to do with mental preparation. My brain was screaming for mexican food 2 days before surgery. I'm glad i told it to shut it lol. This is our second chance. A new way of life, the pain will go

I was also sleeved on the 10th. I did the 2 week pre op diet of 2 shakes and 1 lean meal a day and I'm thankful my surgeon does that because I haven't had any hunger at all. Just head hunger. I dream about food. But my stomach doesn't growl at all. I'm still sore and the gas sucks but this was absolutely the best decision for me.

Be sure to take a PPI - the hunger pains might be acid. Congrats to all! Stay strong!

Walking also prevents blood clots which prevents pulmonary embolism, keep walking!!!

I was Sleeved Tuesday as well. It gets better.. I too experienced the negative thoughts ,due to the gas pain and Constipation ,but please Hang in there. I actually started to feel human yesterday and today was a bad day. It's definitely the hills (hi and lows) of the surgery.

Keep in mind why you wanted the surgery and look ahead and feel beyond the pain.. Look at some old pics and maybe hang up an outfit you look forward to wearing. Trust me , its gets better !! Keep walking ,sipping and breathing into the breathing tool.. Take the pain meds !!

Please let me know how your doing ! You totally got this !!

I think it is typical to have the equal of buyers remorse. Your not going to lose all the weight in just a few days... give it six months and remember there are going to be stalls... but in six months you will be complaining about having to buy new clothes. I had the surgery 2 years ago and it was the best thing I ever did. I'm still losing to this day.

I'm 4 weeks post-op and I'm starting to question my choice to have the surgery. I can't tolerate Protein drinks or anything sweet. I can only get in 3 bites of food in before I feel nauseous every, so it makes me not want to eat. I have no energy and want to sleep all the time. I used to be outgoing and now my demeanor is very low key. Please tell me when it will get better. :- (

Have you been in touch with your surgeon? If you haven't, you need to be.

Levita you are on week 3 and already eating rice and tried fried foods? I am in week 3 and still on cream Soups And soft foods like cottage cheese. And I am supposed to avoid rice Pasta stuff like that or have very little ever. And fried foods is also a big big never. Funny how doctors are different.

Thanks everyone. I've been walking bit slacking on the breathing thing. Why is it important?

I was told that because we are paralyzed during the surgery, our lungs are deflated. It takes a bit of help to get them fully reinflated and functioning fully. According to my surgeon the biggest risks for surgery are pneumonia and blood clots. The incentive respirator helps us to avoid pneumonia.
