Feeling horrible

[jembell01 129]

So I had the sleeve yesterday and have felt horrible ever since. Nausea, has pains, etc. I've been walking, sipping as much Water as possible, but nothing seems to help me feel better.

Taken my zofran, pain meds, but those aren't helping either. Having some serious regrets ????

So sorry you're feeling so bad, but this is very temporary. Just keep sipping an taking your meds!

It very early give yourself some time. I'm just 8 weeks tomorrow and only just feel like a sort of normal person again ie no pain ect . Still can only eat 2 / 3 spoonfuls . It's a big thing you had done and will take your body time to recover. Wishing you feel much better very soon

It seems very common to all of us to have regrets at first; this will pass. I am going on six weeks since having it and I promise, it gets better, although right now it does not feel like it. I do have to tell you to brace yourself for the emotional roller coaster that it's coming your way; this is also normal and it will subside. Much luck on your journey, and hoping for a speedy recovery.

Your stomach is feeling really brutalized right now. This week will be your worst and then as you move into purees, soft foods, and regular foods that taste like something, your energy and your mood will pick up. This is the time to get plenty of rest and follow your plan. You will be quite inconvenienced this week, but you will not regret the long-term results.

My experience was that my biggest incision (I had four) was the only one that hurt, and that was just for a couple of days. After that, I did not need any pain relief. I had behind the ear Patches to help calm the nausea which was in part caused by the other meds I had to take.

By the end of the first week, I had a serious case of "cabin fever", and just couldn't wait to get out of the house.

I do want to give you a "heads up" that along about week three, you may experience a stall in your weight loss. True, it is discouraging - but totally expected as your body adjusts to its new normal.

Hang in there, kiddo. Pluck through the next couple of days and you will be past the worst of your recovery. I still think that my recovery was still not as aggravating as the pre-op insurance process!

You will feel better shortly. Hugs from Chicago.

Take it one hour at a time. Keep walking and keep drinking your Water. It will get better - I promise!!

Every day that passes you will start feeling a bit better and before you know it you will be feeling good.
