It won't be too much longer and you'll start feeling better. Get some rest!

Thanks to all who made suggestions. I am out of hospital now and home with my family. It's still really rough, My first 24 hours post op all I did was sleep literally, I could not open my eyes for longer then 3-4 minutes. I had alot of throwing up....Blood mostly. I have alot of pain in my chest (hopefully gas related) I was released about 36 hours after surgery, still not very able to keep liquids down but trying, I have went for a decent walk each day so far...hopefully things will get better.

My first 3-4 days were like that. I couldn't get anything down, I couldn't even get out of bed. My surgery was last wens. Then Saturday afternoon something clicked and I got out of bed and sat on the couch to try to keep my eyes open. That helped. Then started walking and by Sunday I was able to hold liquids down and felt great. I even went back to work Monday and was tired but made it through. Hang in there, it gets better!

For many of us yes. It is head hunger. The stress of surgery brings on the desire to medicate the stress by eating. Dealing with head hunger is 90% of the WLS process. We are accustomed to eating at certain times in certain locations with certain events with certain people with certain feelings......the list goes on. Our default activity is eating. We have to reorient to 3 small meals a day with one or two snacks and absolutely no grazing. I had to keep telling myself I am not hungry, my stomach does not produce remotely enough grehlin to tell my brain about hunger and won't for 6 months to a year. Also I am feeding my body with the 475,000 calories in lard I have packed all over my body. So I just kept praying for strength to accept the process and kept telling myself, "You are eating, you are eating fat and this is your last chance and you are not going to blow it and by the way "self" I love you and you can do this". God bless
