OCTOBER bariatric beauties

[Sweetness88 10]

I had my surgery October 14th. I'm a week post-op and feel great. I'm from Massachusetts and a single parent to a 6 year old little boy.

Oh how I wish I was you to say the words great is nowhere near my vocabulary right now I'm trying to see if this has anything to do with my Iron or if I'm slightly dehydrated but I'm far from great I wish I could get these drain out and also just start feeling at least 50 to 60 percent better at this point.I miss my role as mommy and wife I was hoping to be able to go back to work in two weeks I'm a teacher and I miss my babies and I just miss being me , I had surgery Tuesday October 15th

I don't understand why you have drains. I had my surgery orthoscopic so I just have 5 small holes and one larger one where they took my stomach out. I'm a week post-op and can do almost anything. I'm still tired but I am dealing.

I don't have any drains either. Just a couple of small holes. They itch but no pain at all. I have plenty of energy as well. I just get a little sleepy around 6pm. For the people with no energy, have you spoken to your doctor about this? Maybe a Vitamin or hydration problem? I am praying for blessings on all the oct bariatric beauties.

First few times getting in and out of bed were really rough. I cried some. But I feel leaps and bounds better by the hour! I have been walking every 1-2 hours.. gas not a problem. Now I can take a pretty brisk wal around the unit. I have mot experienced any nausea but every sw allow makes my sleeve contracy. I feel great!

I feel like I'm one of the only people on this website who had surgery on the 15th and still hasn't got any energy back I feel weak after walking long periods of time I am trying to stay strong but I am really tired of feeling like this help. I get my drain taken out on Thursday hoping that helps. I feel that will help me feel better and yes I'm trying to get as much liquids as possible but every liquid I like that before surgery tastes awful including Water what to do please please please advise I'm very very scared that I won't be able to go back to work at the end of the month.

My advice is stop taking pain killers. I did that and I had 1 day of uncomfortable and the weak feeling went away . I'm just now starting to introduce Water but I have been drinking nestle splash water. It has flavors in it and my favorites were the lemon and mixed berry. They were the only reason I was able to keep water down bc it takes the edge off it. Also, Gatorade g2 or Powerade zero will help rebuild electrolytes and that will help with the weak feeling.

As to the breathing I had to practice taking as deep a breathe as I could 10-12 times an hour bc it keeps your lungs from getting lazy. It hurts a little but it helps in the long run!

Also I sometimes use the pain killers at night to help me sleep. It helps me get more rested but during the day I don't do any drugs during the day anymore bc it was crazy how exhausted and worn I felt.

Everybody is different. I felt awful on Saturday. I went to target and toys r us and when I came home, I crashed. I felt like I was dead. I think that walking is giving me more energy. I can't drink Water at all! I have been drinking decafe tea with skim milk or Powerade zero. Today I got some passion tea from Starbucks and loved that. I think everybody heals differently. I had a csection that was the worst and my attitude was that nothing could have been worse than that. Please let me know if I can give you any other ideas. You just have try different stuff and see what works for you. Are you taking Vitamins? ? I'm taking Bariatric Fusion 4 times a day.

The doctor wants me to hold off on taking any medication until she sees me on Thursday I'm hoping that I do find something I do like I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one who cannot drink Water sad reality I've never liked tea either hoping this drain coming out helps out too

How much weight have the one week post op sleevers lost? I've only lost 7 lbs and I'm kind of discouraged.

7 pounds in a week is great!!! Do not be discouraged!! Everyone loses at a different rate but you will lose if you follow your program!!!

[Seela 1,187]

I wish I was down 7 lbs! I'm actually up 2lbs... talk about discouraged! I'm doing everything right and no results... my worst fear
