How do people go back to work in a week? I feel like my energy is drained, everything hurts, I'm dizzy, and I can barely sip water , let alone protein! God, I hope it gets better!

Yes I don't know either. It does get better day by day. Don't rush it I think it is good to go slow and let your tummy heal. I am 24 days post op and am on purees and still need shakes to get all of my protein in. I am very happy to go at this pace, hoping it will help with the weight loss.

You are doing fine, just keep at it.........................sip, sip, sip

BTW all of a sudden for me when I drank I noticed I didn't have to sip anymore, felt like it happened over night!

It really does get better. I was sleeved on 9/17 & I was back to work in 2 weeks. You have to walk a lot & really try to get the liquids in. The protein shakes are very important for your energy. There are days when I can't even think about drinking anymore. I know I definitely do not get in 64 ounces yet. I'm still barely eating! Hope you feel better soon. It does get better! (You're going to hear that alot)! Lol

Everyone is different, I was one of the lucky ones, I wanted to go back to work after a week but my Dr said no, had to take 2 weeks. It does get better daily so hang in there!

Everyone is.so different. We had surgery the same day, but I feel much better today. Day 2 had me questioning myself for a minute. Just do what you can do. Fluids are the most important. My NUT told me if my urine is not clear I am not drinking enough. So that is my goal at this moment on day 4. Everything else will come with time! Congrats on getting to this step. It is still hard to believe I finally did it.

I was sleeved on Oct 1st and I found that if I take my chewable vitamins it makes all the difference. Also, I am adding PB2 into my chocolate protein shake for the added energy.
