I’m here at the hospital. IV started, nerve blocker given. Only a matter of time now! 9:15 here I come!!

Enjoy and relax it will be the best decision you made - When you wake up sip walk walk move walk and sip -

Welcome to the journey its a good one

it will be fine. I'm one week today and feel great. I did have trouble with anesthesia and had to stay and extra day but back at work and doing well. The surgery itself doesn't hurt. where they take the baby out does. once its done it will be fine. Best wishes to you today

Thanks you guys. I had a great surgery. I’m in very little pain and have been sipping water and walking all evening. What I am confused about is the fact that I am HUNGRY!! Is that normal?

I am hungry too I had surgery like 9pm dec 18th so close to you I’m not super hungry but I do get there, I had excruciating pain when I woke up and for the first 6hrs then it subsided little by little I got a abdominal band to help keep everything in place and it’s heaven sent as far as walking I did 2 laps then 4 laps then 6 laps, 6 was a bit much but I’m ambitious so I pushed after lap 5... I’m having pain so no more for today they said 3 laps a day is what u should do

msbest2u I’m right there with you. Had my sleeve done yesterday 12/18 and am actually feeling hungry today and craving things that I smell ( but not as strongly as before at least). Thought this wouldn’t make me hungry initially!

Hi surgery twin! Yes, I thought the same thing, but what I’m being told is that it’s not really hunger pangs, it’s gas. I will be so glad when it’s gone. I have been trying to walk so it would expel faster, but I still have a ways to go before it’s completely gone. How are you doing with protein? I can’t get any in because they all make my tummy hurt. I don’t know what to do. ?

Not getting more than 20-30g in. I’m so sick of shakes and broth. I tried greek yogurt today and was able to stomach it so hoping that helps. I’m also walk, walk, walking. Just hang in there and do what you can! My sleeve only hurts a little if I drink a big gulp of water on accident but doesn’t seem to mind anything else.
