I Am almost 4 weeks out. I am still on full liquids because I can't stomach mushy. I feel sick to my stomach all the time, not hungry at all, and starting to get very depressed. I don't want to live with this feeling the rest of my life. I am on Pepcid twice a day and I had a hernia repair. My dr says it just takes some people longer but most of what I read is the other way around, people feeling better after 2 weeks. I tried to go back to work but couldn't do it.

I am 7 weeks out and honestly it took me about 5-6 weeks to feel better, I took 3 weeks off work and that was okay, I can tell you it will get better but yeah it did take a while for me and I went thru the whole this was a waste of time thing but it's slowly getting better , I wish u well :-)

I felt miserable the first week and then gradually began to feel overall better each consecutive week. I am 8 months post op and there are still days where everything I eat makes me feel sick. Most days I'm great and if I'm careful with what I eat I'm usually fine, but it's largely about knowing what your stomach can handle, which at 5 weeks you're just beginning to experience. I promise you will not be miserable forever. I thought I had ruined my life right after surgery and now I am very happy with the decision. Hope you feel better soon!

Laurie, some people have the best journey with their sleeve, no issues what so ever and others like me still wake up feeling blah. I do feel better now at 4.5 mths than what I did at 1 mth, but everyone is different. My doc told me that things could take 6-12 mths to really settle down, I am very hard on myself for not feeling good everyday but we have to remember that this is major surgery and not every body reacts the same way. I know how depressing it can be but we just have to take each day as it comes
