    Hi everyone,

    Just wondering...is it common to be extra, extra sleepy all the time after getting the vsg? The last pain medication I took was around 4am. I'm to take it every four hours as needed, so it usually wears off by the 4 hour mark. I have slept all day long and am still tired. I could lie down right now and fall asleep easily. I'm not light-headed or anything unusual, but the constant sleeping is making is difficult to get all my fluids and Protein in. I try to stay awake and keep myself focused, but I drift off while reading, watching tv, knitting, browsing the internet, etc. When I'm awake, I try to walk as much as possible, but the second I'm done, I'm ready for another nap.

    I'm not ready to drive just yet and there are limited places in my house where I can get comfortable, so I feel a bit tied to my bedroom.

    I've never had any kind of surgery or anything done, so I thought maybe my body is still just in "wtf did you do to me" mode, but I'm not sure. My post-op appointment is on Wednesday and I'll bring it up then if there is no immediate cause for concern.

    Thoughts? Suggestions?

    Thank you all!

    Is slept a lot as well. My doc and nutritionist said to get the Water in and once I was done with that to try Protein. All Water first and rest is important. I set a time for 2 minutes so that I would take a sip of water. It took a little time but it got better.

    Listen to your body but stay hydrated so you can heal

    Welcome and congrats to everyone! Today is my one month surgery anniversary and It was well worth it.

    My family worried too. I think that this is natural because they love you so much. The more they learned and the closer I got to surgery, the more confident they felt. It is a rollercoaster.

    I started solid food yesterday. So far things are going okay but I am finding that my taste buds really did change. I am learning to eat all over again and now that there is solid food and wait times for drinking, it isn't easy to get all of my Water in. I am doing it, but barely.

    So glad to be doing this with you all!

    Happy thanksgiving everyone! Hope turkey day was good to you!

    Nana- i personally slept on my side the night after surgery so all was well with me!

    I was able to sleep in my bed no problem. I found that so we so tired after spending a night in the hospital that I passed out quickly. I have been comfortable and I even found sleeping on my side okay.
