When will I feel normal again



Recommended Posts

I had the sleeve done this past Monday November 3rd. When will I be able to stand straight up without feeling the pulling. What about the incisions not be so sensitive? I can only get in 1 oz an hour

You should feel much better in a day or two. Then better every day.

You should feel fully normal in 2-3 weeks. It goes much faster than I'm sure you can imagine right now.

Hang in there :)

Another week or so you should start feeling better each day. I didn't really start feeling "normal" til about 4 or 5 weeks.

You should feel better as each day passes. My surgery was on the same day as yours. If you have pain take your pain meds when needed.

Is it hard for you to stand straight up? I am bent over.

I had a bad reaction. To my first pain pills so switched to Tramadol that we have to crush up. My stomach is rolling like a thunderstorm. I've been walking.

By day 9 or 10 post-op, all the discomfort I was feeling went away. It took a few more weeks before I could lay falt on the bed or lay on my side without feeling a pulling sensation inside. I think I was back to my normal self by the end of a month.

The liquid pain meds I was given tasted so disgusting that I went without. My stomach was rolling and complaining all day, every day for that first 10 days. But everything quieted down after that.

I thought the same thing initially and my first night home was almost in tears wondering what I did to myself. At 6 days post-op, I no longer had pain each time I got up. Yesterday, 7 days post-op, I didn't need my pain meds at all! So believe me when I say, each day gets better!!! Keep your chin up and know that better days are ahead!

I had surgery last Tuesday and am feeling so much better!!! I am able to get all of my fluids in along with two Protein Shakes and am walking a mile a day. I can assure you that last week I could barely get anything down and had no interest in moving period. I didn't have that much pain and stopped taking meds the day after surgery. If you are that uncomfortable maybe you should check in with your Dr. Hang in there!

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
