Hi All. Had my surgery Monday morning. Boy was I not prepared for the pain. I’ve been crying my butt of since yesterday. Took a walk to push myself and almost passed out. 😵 just started feeling better out of no where. Can’t keep anything cold down at all. I know it will get better though.
Sorry to hear that! I had my surgery Monday too, how are you feeling today?

@sestewart17 the just let me leave the hospital today so better i guess. Still having issues keeping cold drinks down. Not hungry at all. It’s hard forcing myself to eat when I don’t really want too. Walking has gotten much better. Starting to worry that this surgery wasn’t for me. How was your experience?

I am not too bad I left the hospital yesterday but I was walking a lot the first day and yesterday though I couldn’t pass any gas, only burp. Today has been alittle better in that regard but I still have a lot of pressure in my chest and some shoulder pain. I am not hungry either, they gave me two meals at the hospital yesterday of broth, Isopure, Jello, a popsicle and tea. I had a few bites of broth and was able to finish one isopure. Today I am drinking a Premier Protein, i tried to do jello but that hurt alittle. Also trying to take in my Water I am just going very slow with everything. I know these days of pain will be worth it though!

@sestewart17 I feel a little better knowing it’s not all roses for everyone. I have yet to get down 8oz of Water. Don’t want to become dehydrated that’s what worries me.

All went well. For the most part the pain feels like acid reflux??? Pop cycles help sooth the burning feeling but still there. Protein Shakes is helping too. @TaylorMade4One are you still hungry? I’m kinda getting that way too.

Are you on a PPI yet? Sounds like your sore little tummy,is complaing instead . Stomach acid and gastritis can mimic the hunger sensations Are you getting,your fluids in? The more watered down those sensations are, you might find some relief.

Yes, I'm STARVING!!! Nothing to chew since sunday when I had a salad. Every time I take a sip of liquid in 3-4 seconds after I feel a pain. Not sure if its because the liquid is going around the gas..How in the world will I do this for 14 days??!!!

I’m not starving from my belly it’s all in my head. I haven’t been hungry since surgery (8-6-2018). I miss food but I haven’t felt any kind of hunger actually. Getting liquids down as much as I can.

How do you distinguish between head hunger & true hunger after surgery? Trying to prepare myself mentally for this part.

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
