Hi everyone,

4 days post op and want to know if others are feeling as tired as I do. I'm also getting frequent headaches and craving coffee. Would love to get some tips on how to energize myself.

I just had my surgery Nov.9th and had headaches the first 3 days, yesterday was the first day I woke up feeling great!!

headaches usually go with the caffeine withdrawals, as for being tired it took me a week or two to get back in the swing of things, but it gets better each day.

Hang in there!

I was sleeved on the 9th also. I did have headaches late in the day on day 2 and 3 but I contributed it to the neck pain that I've been having, perhaps from not being able to sleep like I usually do. As for coffee, I've had it everyday since I returned home. It's on my list of Clear liquids that I can have, as long as I don't use a dairy creamer. I haven't been able to drink a whole cup, but I will sip about half a cup

The only problem other than that I am having is some tightening in my chest whenever I eat or drink. This may be due the hernia that Dr. Moore repaired, hopefully though, this too passes. I'm really ready to get back to normal life and activities. I've been walking 2-3 times a day for 15 minutes on my treadmill.

I like coffee, but haven't had any headaches. I would say it may be caffeine withdrawal. Maybe ask you NUT when you can start your coffee fix again? I would say you would probably start during your Nourishing Liquids Phase (Phase 2).

I had surgery the 9th too. I'm feeling so hungry also drained and tired. Today I ate a little Greek yogurt and it helped a little meaning maybe 4 spoonfuls in 6 hours. Im not sure it was a good idea but it did help me a little with the hunger. I'm not a caffeine drinking so no headaches.

Mine was the same date and ive had a time i did mine in Mexico and ive stuck well with liquids and go to the bathroom sooooo much!!!!

De caf is okay

How are the Nov 9TH PEOPLE doing? I feel like i can eat and drink too much.

I'm a Nov 9th sleevie... I feel pretty good. I accidentally took a single gulp of Protein shake this morning. Yikes. I've never been a big eater - just a bad eater. That said, I have to remind myself to drink. I'm on full liquids for another week. I have a cup of Soup sitting right next to me as I type this. It's 1/2 cup and I think I've had 10 sips the past hour. Hoping pureed foods give me a bit more energy.

Has anyone been to their primary dr? I have on.my.list of things from surgeon. Make an appt with primary dr fisrt week or two. I see my surgeon on 23

I was sleeved on the 9th and I think I'm just barely getting enough Protein and liquids. Its hard to constantly drink all day. As far as drinking too much, I seem to be able to drink my Breakfast shake (8 oz) within about 20 mins but my wife (also sleeved on the 9th) takes about an hour. After that meal though its tough to get in more and more liquids.

I was sleeved on the 13th. I have a follow-up appointment with my surgeon Monday. It has been a very rough five days but today I am already feeling so much better! I am having a lot of trouble getting the protein shakes down and keeping them down. I don't do well with chalky type drinks. My gag reflex is awful with this type of texture. I switched over to ibuprofen yesterday and got off of the pain pills. I really think this is a big part of me feeling better. Pain pills upset my stomach even without major surgery on it. My doctor allows a list of about 8 foods this early - I tried cottage cheese and very wet shredded chicken yesterday and it went down well and didn't hurt. I had 1/2 cup of cottage cheese and about 4 bites of shredded chicken. I know it has only been six days but I haven't lost any weight yet. Anyone know possible reasons why? Just trying to connect with others who have recently been sleeved. If I can answer any questions about my experience let me know.
