I had my gastric sleeve performed on 12/7/18. I woke up today felling full and bloated. I don’t want to eat or drink anything. Is that normal?

If you don't have a fever or severe pain that isn't tolerable with meds, then yes. Swelling, bloating, etc will happen during healing. If they gave you an incentive spirometer, be sure you are using it every hour! It does help!

I agree with Matt.. Totally normal, but you will have to still eat and drink in your case drink because you are on liquids most likely. The key will be to stay hydrated so you don't end back up in the hospital.

the 3-5 days post op is when all the swelling and actually surgery is in full effect. That swelling inside will go down in a couple of days just make sure you are taking your meds and drinking your water. If you don't have a fever then you should feel much better in a day or 2. Good luck the first couple of weeks it can make you question your choice to have had it done but you will get through it. and be glad you did

Totally normal feelings. I had zero desire for anything for awhile. You just have to focus on meeting liquid and protein goals.
