How long will it take to feel better?

I was sleeved Jan 22, and my tummy is not happy. Started pureed yesterday and have been sleeping during the day and wide awake at night. I feel bloated and icky, planning on going back to clear liquids tomorrow. Kinda discouraged, will this get better? Keep feeling like I'm having spasms.

You're smart to go back to liquids...that's what my NUT told me to do if something bothered my stomach. Try again in a few days. Your stomach is still healing: think about what a 10 inch incision and staple line would feel like on your calf...it would be uncomfortable to walk for couple of weeks and you wouldn't consider going jogging. It will get better soon. Best of luck to you and congratulations on your new sleeve!

I can remember not sleeping well for a few weeks after surgery, was very tired took a nap or two. I made homage Soups because I couldn't handle the Protein Drinks. I did find moist fish was ok, eggs were not and sugar free popsicles were my best friend It got a little easier each day. Part of my sleep issues and fatigue were from my thyroid being off. I had to double my dosage and feel better a month after it was increased.

Best luck on your journey!

Back on clear liquids, was able to get rid of some gas. And Prayed A lot, thank you Jesus!

Had a good cry and a nap. Feeling better.

I may be expecting to feel great too soon, just seems so many ppl on here bounce back really fast. I must be a slow bouncer.

I was sleeved on the same day. I was advised to go backwards in the diet if I start feeling like that, so I think you are smart to do the same.
