Welcome to the sleeved life! I think we all regret it at first with the pain we endure but I’m almost three weeks out and it definitely gets better!

Yes I feel like I need a nap every day! I’m a week and 2 days!

Thank you it’s good to know I’m not the only one!

Well I had my 2 week Dcts appt today and down 10 lbs. Docter called it 12 which I’ll take because that’s how much I’ve lost since seeing him in his office right before surgery! I’m still on purée’s but can at least start eggs and next Monday can start soft moist foods so looking forward to that! And down 34 pounds since I started this journey!!

It's now 10:25 AM on March 2nd.
I was sleeved 28 Feb, only stayed one night at the hospital. I was back in my room and done with surgery by 5 PM... super drowsy. But they got me walking and drinking Water by 10 PM. I puked blood and it was disgusting at around 2 AM, but everything got slightly better after that. I can now drink 2 oz of water every 10 to 15 minutes with only mild discomfort. But wow.. does my midsection HURT. Changing positions, walking, also, my left shoulder was painful all night, I had to take some Tramadol in order to get some sleep. I seem to be doing better but I just want to be up and running. I also feel like a disgusting oily mess and my doctor recommended not showering for 5 days after surgery, so I have 3 days left.

Will do thank you [emoji120]

Great to hear! Glad you are doing so well!

It’s hard to sleep when your surgery date is getting close...I don’t think I slept a wink the night before, but it will be here and gone before you know it! Rest up cause being in the hospital you won’t get any rest!

Lol can’t hurt and you might feel better

You're doing great!

I was sleeved on the 12 th also! I think I will keep up with naps and just not feel bad about it but it will be better when this stage is over!

Thank you mylighthouse great ideas and words of encouragement!

Totally normal! Your body's putting a LOT of energy into healing right now, getting used to a huge drop in calories, and trying to figure out why it's losing so much weight so quickly (which will cause the stall that's coming, so don't freak out about that when it happens!).

I was on medical leave for work for six weeks post-op. I took a "get under the covers" nap every single afternoon of those six weeks. And when I did return to work, I still fought fatigue for another 2-3 weeks.
It just takes time...
