Does anyone feel sort of sickly every day? I know I do and I am really tired of it. Am I the only one? I haven't seen anyone else mention this. I have only recently been sleeved. I try to get all my Protein in. I just feel tired and weak and almost like I am coming down with something...every day.

I can't take any pain medicine which I think would help me feel better. I have tried children's liquid ibuprofen. I am afraid of taking anything that might make my blood too thin.

Does anyone else have this? :confused:

Please don't get discouraged. You have been through a major surgery. Plus, I'm sure your eating habits are much different now.

It takes a while to start getting all your strength back. Seems like about the 3rd month for me that I stopped feeling "draggy". It does get better. Give yourself time.

Congratulations and welcome to the loosers bench!!!

Thank you Millie. I am going to try to just hang in there and believe it will get better. I appreciate your support!

Yes I have posted that I feel flu like. I am almost 4 weeks out. I also have been having severe back pain and last night I took some of the sublingual pain meds I brought back from Mexico. That not only helped the pain it also made me more relaxed and less irritable which has been a big problem for me the past 2 weeks. I was on cymbalta for pain pre-op and I started back on it last night. I do feel slightly better today. still very tired.

I am hoping the cymbalta will help me get back on track

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
