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.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
