I had surgery two days ago and the only sign is the gas. I am sipping Clear Liquids and have no problem with it. I'm not hungry,not in pain, don't feel full, walking around and burping a lot. I thought I would be really full if I sipped on my liquids but not. Is this normal?

I'm the same way. Had surgery Aug 15. I keep wondering if this is normal but there probably is no such thing as normal! I did notice that I couldn't drink all of the Protein box tonite like I had done this morning? I don't know??? I would like to be able to chew something so I can tell if I'm full

I 'm exactly the same ..9 days out... I never had a problem from day one.... I can take about 12 oz. of fluid... I was worried that was too much... I still am worried ....I'm just felt like I should be barely choking it down... but I don't have any problems at all.

I have a follow up appointment on Thursday so I'm going to make sure I'm not drinking to much because I read it could damage the sleeve. I'm just glad I don't feel hungry.

I had to follow the 15min rule since I was having trouble getting fluids in and now I've reduced it to an ounce every 10mins. I tolerate warm soup/broth better than plain Water like a lot of others had said. I think I'm just waiting on swelling to go down. Also, in the mornings I have "morning sickness" where I get really nauseas and have spasms. I'm going to sip on a shake first thing tomorrow morning because I'm thinking it might be from hunger because water doesn't do the trick.

Also, had a REAL BM today that had me thanking Jesus (Sounded like Madea for a moment). [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]

I had my surgery on the 14th, and neither pain nor difficulty swallowing from day one. Just today, I've been feeling hungry from time to time. I sure hope I'm not doing something wrong.

I am having a similar issue. I'm 5 weeks post op and my stomach lets me eat anything. I was hoping for more restriction so I don't have to rely on willpower so much.

I had my surgery on the 16th as well and I'm not hungry at all. I eat one sugar free popsicle and I feel so full for a long time.

I'm supposed to be drinking 60g of Protein each day and I'm really struggling getting that in (mostly because all the protein powders I've tried so far are disgusting to me...).

Just saw my doc and he stated I would not have a full feeling until I start more solid foods my stomach is just a straw right now with liquids just passing through until it heals. As far as the hunger feeling it is real but should pass in time.

I thought I was the only one that was feeling as if I can drink and still feel hungry!!! I had my surgery on the 17th I never really had any pain. I only feel discomfort when I sit or stand like I feel swore as if I worked out the day before. I have my first post opp appointment on Friday.

Lets you eat anything and you have no restriction? Can I ask what you are eating, i am 7 weeks post, is this the case if you eat just Protein? so you can eat unlimited about of steak for example?

      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! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣
