Ok so i had my surgery June 18th so i am a few days post op, in some pain but have good pain meds, i would just like to know when i will be able to be "regular" again

Although I was still a little sleepy, I felt "regular" about a week post-op. On Day 8 I drove 3+ hours to a retirement party for my former boss (drank water the whole time) after looking at houses in a neighboring state that morning. I went back to work on Day 10 and now, Day 14, I'm finishing up my first work week feeling fine!

Do you mean regular as in bowel wise or regular as in normal energy?

You should have your first bowel movement within a few days of surgery, and after that, you might have diarrhea for about a week, maybe two. That is what my surgeon's PA said would probably happen, and in my case, it did.

I had my sleeve done on June 18, 2012 and it took me at least 4 or 5 weeks before I felt "normal" again.

My surgery was June 18, three days ago. I'm doing pretty good! liquids are incredibly slow, so far today I've drank 20oz of waters and 8oz soy milk in a Protein shake, that's it. I WILL get through another Water today!!

But I have had no incision pain, just gas pain. Been working my business and walking a bit, had a couple diarrhea BM, and only taking the pain med at night to help sleep. Slept on my back flat last night and it was good.
