  1. I just wanted to update this. Thanks everyone...your advice helped! So, yes, it does get better. Much better. I was feeling back to myself about 5-6 days out. Days 2-3 were definitely the worst. Some of my incisions are a little tender but virtually no pain at all. I did find that the pain meds made me out of it and really sleepy, so I stopped taking it. Weight is coming off nicely and I can't wait until I can progress to soft foods next week. When I progress to soft foods, will I start feeling restriction. I can drink as much as I want and have no issues. I am hoping I start to feel restriction soon and this surgery worked! Thanks again!
  2. Thanks! I know it will get better. I just have to hang in there. I am drinking as much as I can. I just need to get proteins in. I think that will help.
  3. I had sleeve surgery on Tuesday morning. I am sore, weak, and so sleepy. I am getting my walking in and trying to get fluids down. I guess I thought I would bounce back quicker. I feel miserable. Any tips to get more energy?
