8 weeks out this week and feeling crappy



Recommended Posts

Just about 8 weeks out and still wondering when am I going to feel like myself again. Still very weak, no energy, no appetite, and almost everything I attempt to eat makes me nauseous. But I guess on the flip side the weight is falling off. Surgery 278, current weight 237 so I'm down 41 lbs. Anyone have this nausea issue if so when did it pass? I literally have to lie down after almost everything I eat...

I'm 6 weeks out and feel the exact same way! My surgeon told me yesterday that it will get better within the next 1-2 months! Now is when you have the most restriction, but it's hard for me to eat anything! I'm jealous of those that have sleeves of steel!

I'm sorry to hear you're not feeling well! My surgery is on 05/06, and I feel like I hear a lot of people saying they feel nauseous for a few months, it's making me nervous! Do you feel like you're drinking enough and can you get you Vitamins? I hope you're feeling better soon - it's gotta be rough!

Definitely not drinking enough and having a hard time with vitamins...I just can't wait to a few more months under my belt where I can tolerate more without feeling sick to my stomach because that's the absolute worse!

I'm sorry to hear that! What are you eating at 6 weeks out? Maybe the things you're eating are still too heavy for you? I'm only a month out however things like scrambled eggs don't go down so well while grilled chicken goes down just fine. Definitely make an effort to get your Vitamins in! I got the fruity chewables from the start so vitamins were never a problem. Water is still an issue for me as well but it's definitely getting better! I hope you feel better soon!,

Hi all. My op was April 16 and I've lost 22lbs since the surgery. I started solids this week and is having difficulty. I no protien is important and has started drinking my shakes & smoothies. Actually the Dairy Queen smoothie with added Protein is really good and goes down smooth. It's a lot better than my at home blended Protein Shakes.

I tried egg & chicken salad my mom makes without the extra fixings and that appears to b tolerable. Tried baked Talapia tonight and had the chest issue, which is my issue. I hate this part. What's the best way to handle this?

I don't want to lose too much weight and have that drained older look. I actually like how I look now and only want to lose about 30lbs more. I'm 5'11 with a large frame and believe a size 18 Misses would be nice.

Hey Hun what kind of Vitamins are you taking and which one is causing you the problems? I am not getting enough Fluid in as well so I know how you are feeling. Do you have anymore nausea meds maybe take those before or after you eat. In the beginning I felt the same way.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
