Day 5 - feeling gurgly

I had surgery on Monday so today is day 5... I feel sore and tired and very gurgly..  I want to eat but my tummy is not quite sure it's ready for food yet.  i'm sure this is normal, just thought I would share.

Definately normal!  Liquids and soft foods will be the norm for a few weeks.  Hang in there

I had a gastroplasty in 2001 and am now on the waiting list for the RNY, which will probably be in 2015 (yep, I'm in canada).  So I just wanted to say:  Hang in there!!!  I know you probably feel like you "just want to feel normal" and have a bite to eat at this point (I remember it well), but DON'T DO IT!!  PLeae remember that staying on program is easier if you've never fallen off the wagon.  You put your body through this extreme procedure which is bigger than the desire right this minute!  If you need/ want to eat, ask yourself if it's your stomach telling you it's time, or if it's your head telling you "it's that time of day" or "I feel crappy so let's get some comfort food going".
And Please!  Remind me of this when I get to your point!!!
Feel free to email me or comment on here ... support is the answer at this point.

I had mine on Monday too.  Everyday it seems to get a little better and I'm able to move a little easier.  I hear the water gurgling when I drink which kind of freaks me out..lol  Keep up the great job and hopefully we will be up and running in a couple of weeks!

Sending prayers your way for a speedy recovery!

Its normal...I had my surgery about 3 weeks ago.  I remember sitting in the hospital watching tv, and wanting the shrimp and steak shown in the commercials.  Our "minds" still want food and that is most of my problem.  The good part is, not really being hungery or hearing your stomach growl for food.  The first few weeks are tough but be creative.  Try lots of new things, drinks I didnt use to like, I love now...your tastebuds should change some.  
At the point I am now, I just feel very tired all the time.  I think it will take the body a few months to adjust to all the changes from our gastrointestinal remodel!  Good Luck to you!

Today is day 9 post-op for me, and I still have that gurguly feeling..Don't worry it's your new "baby" getting used to everything :)

when did you start to feel better?  I'm trying to power through it to stay hydrated but it's hard
