Hi springerboy. Welcome! I am pretty new on here as well. I am also 3 days post OP and i too feel like crap! When I'm awake and can walk around, it's for a short period of time and then I'm ready to take some vicodin and pass out again. Any suggestions would help me as well.

It will get better you just need time to heal

Take your Med's when needed get rest when you can and remember to walk and sip.

In a few days you will feel lots better.

Congrats on your surgery.

Thank you so much! I just feel like all i do is lay around. I guess thats about I'm expected to be able to do considering i just had major surgery. Thanks for your support! It really helps to talk to People who can actually relate to you because they have been through it.

No questions to personal you would be surprised at the questions ask here and they all have to do with what we are all going though.

You are both doing exactly what you should be doing..nothing!! As long as you drink and get up and walk around for a bit every hour or so, your doing good! To be honest I felt like crap (exhausted) for up to 8 weeks!! I had all I could do to get out of my own way!! It will get better trust me! For now remember, your body has and is going through some major changes!!!

I'm 5 days out. I am having a hard time with Water. Anyone else have that? I actually like the taste of Water but it hurts when I swallow it even in small sips. I can drink sf lemonade and Vitamin water zero but not plain water. Anyone else have that and did it get better?

I'm about two weeks out and I thought something was wrong because I love water but I would keep getting a pain in the center of my chest when I would drink it. So I see it's not just me. So for fear of becoming dehydrated I started eating shaved ice yesterday along with my crystal light drinks. Never did I imagine it being so hard to get down one 16 oz drink! Oh something else that helped in that first week was letting my water get to room temp.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
