I am 6 days post op and am exhausted. The pain is just about gone, but i feel dizzy and like i have to lay down all the time. Will i ever feel normal and have energy again? When did it start coming back?

I have had a few but cant even get 1/2 of it in so its more of a waste for me..im only 10 weeks out so maybe it will be worth it a few months from now

Hi Courtney, Im just about 2 months out and am averaging 600-700 cal a day

I dont see a difference yet!

Thanks Teddy...im a slave to the scale...im gonna hide it and just pay attention to my clothes for a while.

I know...my losses this week have been slow. I'm going to up my exercise on Monday. Dr says im cleared for all exercise then

Had my surgery July 30th and I wanted to give an update. I am feeling 100% myself again....i struggled about whether i would ever feel normal again and the answer is YES! I am on soft foods and i've lost 18lbs so far. I hope everyone is doing well.

Im walking 30 min daily...no stall yet...how about u?

I am so frustrated. I called my surgeon Monday and they said they submitted everything to Horizon BC/BS for approval. I called Horizon today and they said they didnt get the paperwork from the surgeon! My surgery is just a week away and now I dont know if i will get approval in time. I called thw surgeons office back and they assured me that it was submitted. Has anyone faced this?

Thanks...you helped a lot! I feel better

Im 4 days post op and i cant get anymore then 10g of protein in a day. And on top of that only around 20 oz of liquids total. Am i going to get sick? I know i will be able to do better when i can add protein shakes with milk, which is on Monday. I think its hard for me because i cant get use to the clear protein drinks. Ive always had a hard time with them. The chocolate protein shakes were never a problem for me so im looking foward to that. Anybody else struggling this bad with protein intake?

Oh my Goodness! My day is just about here. I cant believe this time tomorrow I will be sleeved. I go in tomorrow at 7:15am. Keep me in your prayers.

Surgery went well...but im in a lot of pain...when do u start to feel normal sgain

I agree,,,i had mine done the same day and all i can think is "why did i do this to myself?". The gas pains finally left this morning,,.but it is so hard to get my fluids in,,.i hope we see the light soon
