Sleeved 6/12/13 - 100 pounds lost to get to goal!
Yep...I get the same feeling. Also, I feel cold drinks in the same place as well.

omg i just took a sip of water and YOU CAN feel it going down the left side. looking forward to the right feeling soon!
so i have to ask, sometimes i get bloaty where my stomach is and burp a lot - i can barely breathe either. do you still get bloaty with no more fundus? cuz i swear mine holds 7 cups right now and gets HUGE when i eat certain foods that make me burpy. i had a tummy tuck years ago so i still have a relatively flat gut area, except for bloat, then i look knocked up.

I am three weeks out today, and I am nervously feeling very normal. My appetite has definitely decreased, but I do not notice that much restriction. Doc had me on soft food 10 days out and I was immediately able to eat 3 oz of tuna or chicken salad plus a couple oz of veg. Then at 17 days, doc cleared me for regular food, and I have been able to eat 3 oz of chicken breast + 2-3 oz veggies per meal. So many on this forum farther out than me seem unable to get this much in it makes me nervous for the future, but I am not going to panic. I am following the Doc's plan, and I am thankful all has gone well so far.
In summary, the sleeve feels very natural...almost too natural for my liking.
7 weeks out today. What feels different at this point (different than earlier out)
1. I feel a significant pull on my left side from the interior stitch when I do push ups
2. I have much more gurgling in my intestines..no real gas though...I am lucky
3. rarely feel real hunger...I have to go more than 6 hours without food before I get any signals that feel like they are coming from my stomach
4. I go from feeling fine to pretty darn full pretty darn fast. one or two bites make a difference now.
5. Drinking water too quickly reminds me just as quickly that I have a small capacity.
However, as I am sitting here typing, I do not feel any physical difference when compared to presurgrey. It is totally weird and strangely miraculous (one woman's opinion)
