Well I did it,I had my gastric sleeve Monday morning. Here are the things I did not expect. The gas pain in my upper chest and back ? Finally going away. My #1 tip WALK WALK WALK those hospital halls and try to break it up. It may not seem like it's doing any good but it will pay off!! Taking even the smallest tiniest sip of water hurts and not in a nasuse way but in a sharp shooting pain. I have no tips on that one and I'm trying really hard to get fluids down.

I go in on Monday for my sleeve. I'll be curious to see how you are doing....a week ahead of me.

Hope you're progessing well!

Best of luck to you!!!!

Good luck to you both, I didn’t feel my gas other then when I burped I had pain, but I had to walk 9 times a day at the hospital. I felt the pain later when I was home and it was breaking up.

I had sleeve Monday too. I didn't walk as much as I wanted at hospital. Felt terrible and had nausea nonstop. I was glad to go home and have been feeling better each day. I'm definitely more comfortable at home and move around more. Still having gas pains but they seem different now.

Had my sleeve Monday as well. Getting around great but I think Im having hunger pains.!! How is that even possible? I can't hold the liquid, only about 2.5 oz.

I kind of felt like that today but I think it was just the feeling of an empty stomach. Once I sipped some soup it went away. I feel like when I'm empty the gas pain is way worse!

Today was the first morning I woke up and felt like my stomach was empty and I was a bit hungry. Took a few sips of my protein shake and I'm good. I think it's just a lot to get use to.

Also sleeved Monday

I feel like fluids I could suck down a solid 4-8 ounces in one shot.

Protein has been a struggle, fills me up incredibly quickly. So I've been cutting down on many of my clears to go full effort on protein.

I get really full and some pain in my stomach (usually short-lived lasts for 1-5 minutes max )

Then I just back off consuming anything for a good 45- hour and try again.

I probably got close to 40g/day of protein the last 2 days, think I'm on track for 60g today which is right where I wanna be

I'm having the same uncomfortable feeling after I drink. Mine also doesn't last long but it's annoying.

I also had my sleeve done on Monday 11/13. Yesterday I didn't feel well but like some of you I've felt hungry today. I have had some broth but a short time later am feeling hungry again.

I totally agree with you! I was also sleeved on Monday and have been having similar spasms of gas/hunger pains. I noticed that I was definitely worse in the morning or after long periods of not being able to drink (d/t nausea). The emptiness had my poor pouch seizing up. I was kept in the hospital for 4 nights because I was having such a hard time drinking. After starting a mixture of meds, I’m now finally able to drink without vomiting. This is now my second night home, and the gas spasms still vary throughout the day, but seem to be lessened after drinking warm broth or hot tea. Also, I’m finally starting to have more flatulence (thank God!)...but for the life of me, I’m unable to burp consistently. I know that if I were able to really burp, the bulk of the discomfort would pass. Gas-X has been useless for me. I’m hoping that with walking and warm liquids, I’ll finally start having less discomfort.

I had my surgery nov 6th. I was taken by surprise by how much pain there was after the surgery. I had bad gas pains in my shoulders but even worse than that was the pain trying to move. Getting out of bed even was almost impossible. Its been 2 weeks now and it's much much better, almost no pain anymore except for hunger pains. I had been told that after the surgery I wouldn't be hungry but that isn't true for me at all. I'm hungry all the time but I'm really hoping that after a little more time the hunger pains will go away. Has anyone else had problems with hunger????

My surgery was a week after yours

But I've read that hunger pains are less once you're on solids instead of liquid and purees

Thanks for answering me .I hope your right I can hardly wait to eat something real again

Also sleeved Monday
