Don't get discouraged. With time it will get better. I am finally feeling better after. I still have a hard time getting my Protein in

I was feeling like this around day 4 or 5, but felt much better after I started my Vitamins and consistently started hitting my Protein goals. Are you certain you aren’t dehydrated? I would at least call your doctor’s office to touch base. Prayers for you tomorrow.

Today is my 14th day postop. I feel exhausted and honestly want to break down in tears. I don’t know if being emotional comes with the surgery but I feel like giving up. I can’t get the fluids I need in and I return to work tomorrow. I feel like I can barely get up and shower. Anyone else have energy/mood changes?

I had my sleeve on May 17th. In January, I weighed 385. I started preparing and had my first bariatric meeting with the surgeon around mid March. My weight when I started my 2 weeks of shakes was 362 and my surgery weight was 342. I track almost everything I eat and I am setting at 256 right now. Kinda tough to track around the Holiday, but feel like I have a new lease on life. I danced for almost 3 straight hours on Nov 27th at my daughter’s wedding! Your stomach will be tiny which will help you while you get/keep your mind right. Do NOT cheat! Have and keep the faith in the process! If you do that you will be extremely happy and able to get back to an active lifestyle!!! :-)

I just had mines on the December 14th. Struggling to get Protein in.

I just had gastric sleeve surgery 12/14 I went home the next day. The night after surgery was brutal! I was nauseated and in pain. The IV pain meds helped me survive. I walked the halls off and on all day because the gas pain was UNBELIEVABLE. I went home the next day and was pretty exhausted today is day 5 I’m still achy but got a lot of cleaning done I did have to rest often. I’m struggling with Water intake but bouillon and sugar free popsicles are helping me a lot! Good luck with your surgery!

I had mines in the 10th. Each day gets better but I’m struggling to finish my Protein Drinks. I got a few sips in and my stomach began to feel like an alien was crawling out of it. Needless to say, I threw up the shake 😏. I’ve been trying to incorporate yogurt but I start to get those pains and I stop. I’m going to stick to broth, Water and small amounts of Protein Shake but I just ordered a Protein supplement where each shot is 18g of protein. I may be doing this until I can tolerate a shake. Good luck and I’m happy to know your tolerating stage 3 purées. That’s a big accomplishment!! ☺️
