How long did it take you to start feeling good after surgery??

I was feeling good the second day after surgery. I mean I still felt the manageable pain (with no meds) of the largest incision, which was where the surgeon pulled the cut off portion of my stomach out. I went in with a complete understanding of what I had done to my body and knew what I had to do to feel better. I had been walking about 5 miles each day PRIOR to the surgery that I was able to walk and get in all my fluids and proteins. My main focus was fluids, proteins, and walking my first couple of weeks.

Yea, i gelt good a few days after surgery but wasnt suppose to drink protein drink so about on the fourth day i started feeling bad and it just got worse until they let me drink protein on wed so starting to feel lil better

Are you getting B-12 shots? Ask your dr about getting them. That made all the difference for me as far as energy goes. I'm 4 months out now and get them every 2 weeks.

You really need B-12 shots. I was taking the sublingual and they're not NEARLY as potent. Ask you dr and he'll probably let you have the shots. I wake up easier and never yawn during the day now that I'm taking them.

Actually, the B12 sublingual can be quite effective. I was taking sublingual daily, and my blood levels were quadruple the normal. I had to decrease my dose. Perhaps your case was different, but that doesn't make it true accross the board. To the OP, it was several weeks before I felt good....but I did have a steady improvement during that time. It's normal to feel rough after such a major surgery. Some people are lucky and feel great after a day or two, it takes others longer, but as long as they are not having complications, that's normal, too.
