I am 5 weeks post op. 209 day of operation and now 181. First 2 weeks had a good weight loss then week 3 and 4 I lost very little. Going into week 5 there was quite a good bump and big weight loss. I had post op complications too (ruptured spleen) so no exercise either. It will come don't worry

Hi, I am one month post op as of yesterday and lost 26lb's. I crave chocolate and I was always a savoury person. I actually went out to the shops to get some chocolate and I have never done that before. And yes, I flop out of bed....bark orders and by 3.00pm I don't want to talk to anyone. I don't have the energy, I am aware of it so really concentrate to be pleasant. Nope you are not alone at all!!

Yes totally peed off. Now on antibiotics 3 x per day for next 2 years...huge cut from sternum to pubic, adult student and had to drop out of a course I was doing for my degree due to this. He was the head of the surgery department, took a week to get some sort of an apology. The fact they also discharged me when I was complaining of illness. Even worse we live rural, had to call ambulance, took 2 hrs to get to me.....they called air helicopter, flown straight to resuscitation. One big frickin' mess!!

I was sleeved on the 21st Dec 2016, on the 23rd I was vomiting and in pain, the surgeon had cut my spleen and I had lost 4.7 litres of blood. More surgery and spleen removed. My problem is I don't know what is sleeve symptoms and what are splenectomy. It has been 3 weeks. I am always tired, hardly eat and break out in sweats. How are/were others after 3 weeks? Not sure how I am supposed to be feeling. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
