I hate the way I feel



Recommended Posts

Hey everyone, I feel so uncomfortable . I have lost 42 pounds since my sleeve 11/27/12 . But I'm so weak and I take the Multivitamin plus the B12. Everything I try to eat makes me extremely nauseous . Does it get easier ? I need a light at the end of this tunnel honestly . When will I feel like myself again ?

I was sleeved 12/5 and I have lost 22lbs. I do not feel weak ever. Are you getting your Protein and fluids. Have you discussed this with your doctor?

I think it would be best to contact your Bariatric team as they know your medical condition. Better to be safe than sorry. Hope you feel better soon

I also feel pretty weak and tired. I had my sleeve 12/19 and also feel uncomfortable when I eat. I do get my Water, Protein, and all my Vitamins in every day. Some days I feel like I just can't put one foot in front of the other! I'm sure hoping this passes soon! I'm also interested if anyone else has had this experience?

Hi so sorry you arent feeling well. Everyone recovers from surgery differently. I am hoping to have my surgery soon

and I was very fearful of not feeling well and being nausous all the time. I would recommend talking with your doctor and

nutritionist. I only know 2 people that have had this surgery and both are feeling well after 5 weeks or so. Good Luck,

Amy

I couldn't agree more I'm 4 weeks out and today I had a half of Protein Shake and half a Greek yogurt and that's it. Everything makes me feel sick. It bums me out I'm depressed and weepy because I have no energy to handle my 4 little ones. I wish I knew it would get better!

I am 5 months out now and it truly does get better. I remember feeling bad for weeks and never thinking I would have energy again. My turning point was at 3 months out. One day things just got easier and they have been improving ever since. Rest, drink as much as you can and eat the right foods. If something does not agree with your sleeve, don't eat it for a week or two. Try new foods, don't eat the same thing each day. I still cannot drink Protein Drinks or milk but I can handle most other food now. It really is one day at a time.

Maybe you're eating too fast.....I haven't had much Protein either..but I try to get on as much as I can in my foods....if I don't have anything else I eat protein and take vitamins.....all Protein shakes are garbage to me....buy a small thing of Welch's grape juice...drink maybe 2-4 oz..it has a 38grams of sugar but its all natural..it will make the sluggish feeling history.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
