I know we are all different, but Im interested everyones reply

took about 4 wks for me. overall I was okay after the first week, but I couldn't sleep on my side until about 4 wks so I never felt fully rested after sleeping at night. Getting comfy in bed again was the turning point for me!

About 5 days.

It was about 2 weeks for me. Once my surgeon removed the steri strips over my wounds (ugh, they smelled HORRIBLE) and I got the nausea under control, I was able to function like a normal human being.

(Oddly, the day after my surgery, I thought I felt like myself. I was dancing around my room, walking up and down the halls every couple of hours, and enjoyed sipping my diluted apple juice. It must've been the drugs, because by that evening I felt like I was hit by a truck.)

About 3 weeks for me. No pain after 3 days, no nausea, mostly just fatigue and getting the liquid and protein in!

I was sleeved on the 6/18 and I feel about 60% my normal. I find that my energy level is down which is probably normal due to the decrease in calories. I was suppose to return to work next week but I have decided to take off one more week.

Approx 10 days for me. Had taken 2 weeks off work and had no problems.

Today I forget I even went through major surgery except for the obvious changes

No pain after week 2, energy level & sleeping returned to normal during week 4. that's when I really felt like a BETTER me.

Today is day 6 post op for me and as far as feeling like my old body, no pain...today was it or me , thank goodness! Of course, eating will never be the same but that's what I signed up for! Good luck!

Although I returned to work on post-op Day 10, my energy was still markedly lower. It wasn't until I was 2 weeks out and finally able to transition to "smooshy" foods that I felt human again - something about using a spoon to eat my foods, coupled with the renewed energy and using my brain at work again seemed to help! I spent 2 days house hunting on Days 15 and 16 post-op in a neighboring state - all good!

I think it took a month before I didn't have a constant reminder of some sort that I had been sleeved. Now I don't think about it unless I'm eating.
