Hey so I’ve been healing really well. I was sleeved 2/2 and I haven’t had any complications besides gas. I started walking immediately after surgery and had my first bm two days after surgery(sorry tmi!)

It’s great overall, but I can already hold down liquids and my protein shakes. I even had a small bite of an egg and was fine. I’m a little worried because of how easy it is for me to get my fluids in. I have also been feeling hungry very often. I just don’t want to mess up and not lose weight. I start to feel full after about 3-4 oz and then I stop for a few minutes and am able to drink again. But I’ve read a lot that many can’t even drink a lot after surgery?? Is this normal?? Looking for any support buddies!!

Sounds like me with the Water & shakes. Never a problem. I can chug a lot of water & have been drinking 2 liters or more since 2 days out. I consider myself lucky. I also get it with the food. I’m on puréed until the 22nd & I have take a few bites of soft foods but chewed it real well. I suggest a good blender if you don’t already have one. I was told I can purée nearly anything I want as long as I only eat half a cup every 3 hours & no that doesn’t mean cake lol but I have had a slice or pizza on Super Bowl Sunday & a burrito in chili another time. Other than that it’s mostly Campbell’s Chunky Soup. Everything I eat has Taco Bell Fire Sauce on it. I use a Vitamix & it is the Bomb! It puree’s awesome!

I like that FluffyChix finds this amusing! ?

Anyone having pain in the ribcage area when they inhale deeply?

Also, anyone having non stop hunger pangs/pains even when full? This is affecting my sleep.

Sleeved 2/1/18.

Did they have you do breathing exercises after surgery? I’m a little sore in the ribcage when I breathe deeply as well. I contribute that to the soreness my lungs felt after they took the tube out. Have you been passing gas regularly?

Yes they did. I still do it at home too. I just wanted to make sure it's normal. Yes, I pass gas regularly.

Oh good! I would just keep making sure that your lungs don’t get worse. Has anyone had any pain on their right side as well? It feels like muscle soreness on both sides.

Omg I took some GasX chewables and the pain is gone!!! Sweet relief! Thanks for the correct diagnosis.

I haven't had any side pains. Are you sleeping wrong?
