  1. It's been a week today since my surgery. I got my sleeve on 12/10. I have been able to shower every day but I feel very weak. I started protein drinks and strained cream of chicken and mushroom soup by my 4th day home from the hospital per my Dr. Suggestion as I tolerate liquids fine. I find that I am still very tired and feel light headed I am also still in need of my pain medication. I have walked everyday since my surgery for 30 minutes or more. This tread is great. Sometimes I feel like I am not doing enough or doing too much. I have wondered if I should or shouldn't be taking my pain meds or if its weird that I can drink water and protein drinks with no problems. Then I worry why do I feel light headed and so tired. I feel more at ease reading about everyone else's experiences. While we all recover at different rates there are many people out there with similar struggles and successes. I'm glad to know I am not alone.
