Did anyone have MORE energy newly sleeved?



Recommended Posts

I feel better now, just over 3 weeks post op, than I did before surgery. My mood is better and my energy levels are much higher. I don't understand how I can feel so peppy when my body is living on 600 calories a day. I read so many posts where some are struggling to get their energy back... but I know I can't be the only one that has felt 1,000 times better almost immediately post-op.

I have contemplated all sorts of theories, lol. I know that my blood sugar is very stable now, and I am not having the numerous cups of coffee that I used to have. The little I am eating of soft solids are from fresh foods, nothing processed, few chemicals and additives. I have met my Fluid and Protein goals daily since day 3, and take all my Vitamins. Is cutting out the crap foods, and getting all the protein and vitamins the reason I feel so darn good? Could I have had deficiencies pre-op that I am now meeting? I really don't understand it.

Did anyone else experience this? Is there some valid explanation, or just the perfect combination of things?

The three week mark was my turning point. My body was lighter, I was completely detoxed of chemical laden food, artificial colors, excess fatty mess...

Plus the pure excitement of being post op and diet free!!

I am 9 days post op and feel great! I have had NO problems getting my Protein and liquids in. I returned to work full time one week after my surgery. I am sleeping well and very alert during the day. I am enjoying the "sleeved" life! I am having a hard time still taking it easy so I heal completely. Since surgery I am down 12 pounds, and on the pre-op diet I lost 10. I have been so thankful I have chosen this road so far!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
