10 Days Out And Still Feeling Rough



Recommended Posts

I was sleeved on 9/20 and I still feel rough. Weak and stomach still sensitive. Is this normal? I feel like I could lay down all day but I don't. I force myself to get up and do things.

It will get better. Trust me. I had surgery on 6/14 and u had terrible buyers remorse for at least 3 weeks. I couldn't beleive I did this awful thing to myself. I had NO energy and felt awful. But as you progress and transition to different stages of food, your energy and mood will improve dramatically. Just hang in there. I'm down 69 pounds in 3.5 months, so it was definitely the right decision.

It will get better, I was just sleeved on the 27th, but each day gets better, hang on :) I feel the same too, because of gas pain I don't want to lay down, I'm constantly moving. Even when I get up in the night to use it, I do a lap in the hallway LOL

Buyers remorse is a good way of putting it. I thought how could I take out a perfectly good working organ and why did I do this to myself. I was sleeved on 8/29 and today hit 25lbs...I feel so good....

Hang in there, it has been just a few days since I have been completely pain free...I promise it does get better...Give yourself time

It'll get better hand in there. Maybe you rest a little more than you are right now. I know I rested a lot during the fist week sometime your body needs the rest to heal. Hope you feel better soon.

It really does get better!!! Really, it does! If you need to rest for a bit, do so! For the most part, many of us did not look like we'd been through major surgery when we came home from the hospital!!! But, remember, you have just undergone major surgery and there are a lot of changes going on in our bodies. Yes, there are some bumps in the road on this journey, but, I wouldn't change a thing! I'm two months out today and I just slipped on the jacket to a jogging set that I bought back in February. The pants fit quite snug and I couldn't zip the jacket at all. Today, the jacket more than fit. I could zip it up, and I've got spare room in it! Now, the pants are a little too roomy, lol!!! A day like today makes it all worth it! Hang in there, you'll be fine!

Your calorie and Protein intake is low and it causes you be to sleepy and sluggish. When those improve you will-- I drank some apple juice and got mental clarity and some energy to start feeling human. You are about a week away from the funk clering and being good to go.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
