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 .

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!

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.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
