Feeling good seems so long ago... I know this will pass, but right now I am feeling pretty miserable.. Lots of pain, difficulty getting my Protein down - wondering what the heck did I do to myself... Also, have to give myself blood thinner shots twice daily and empty a drain ... I don't even feel human anymore... :-;

How long

How long before I start feeling like ME again? Any encouragement is appreciated!

I'm so sorry you're having a tough time. I am still pre-op so cannot offer any practical information.

Feel better soon. I am very sure you will get a bunch of feed back from sleevers that will offer some insight.

Good luck .

Hang in there each day that's goes by you will feel better.I was sleeved on sept 10th.the second day I was miserable.The third day I was sore, but each day that goes by trust me you will fill better.

It will get better! Just be patient and look at each day as another step towards feeling better. What you are going thru now is perfectly normal.

The first week was the worst for me. I was feeling much better by the weekend. I even went out on a boat, but I still remember feeling not normal. While on the boat, I watched my husband and kids waterski. Someone wiped out and took in a great deal of Water, and I remember panicking thinking I could never do that again. I just couldn't imaging ingesting that much water at once.

At the end of the second week, I was back to work and feeling mostly normal. I would get tired fast -- falling asleep around 8 p.m., which is unheard of for me. I was tired for several weeks, but it was mostly in the evening. Eventually that passed too.

It gets better every single day until finally, you feel normal again.

You are going to be feeling better before you know it. Each day it will get better. Don't rush yourself. I was sleeved on 9/24 (Monday) and went back to work the following Tuesday. Plus once the shots are over, that was a BIG plus!

Itl be over before you know it.but i never felt any differant .just a bit tired the first week.when you start to eat proper food.then youl be fine.i can tolerate anything so far.chocolate is a bit sugary tasting i dont like it any more yippee.

I was also sleeved Monday.I am feeling a little better today, still very sore in some spots.I did manage to do some light house work and took about a 1/2 mile walk. I also had a hiatal hernia repair done at the same time so my issue is trying to get my fluids in.It seems fluids want to stick in my chest first and then work their way down. So far today I only took one dose of liquid Tylenol for pain and a Maylox for the gas.
