What to expect two weeks post op?

I have my sleeve scheduled for June 15 and our family reunion is scheduled for July 1.

I know everyone is different but please give me an idea of how I will feel. I know I will be on very soft foods and that's OK.

Wish this could have been planned a little better but didn't work out that way.

    Thank you for all the replies. Setting in the waiting room waiting to be called to surgery. Feel like I'm on a roller coaster getting pulled to the top of the first drop. Here we go!

Two weeks out I had very little to no pain at all. I was still quite nauseous and had a hard time getting my fluids in especially water at the time. But I know like a lot of people have already said here, everyone recovers and heals differently. Best advice I can give is to follow the plan you and your surgeon have come up with, and keep in contact with them if pain or any other unplanned symptoms start to show up.

I was tired, I was eating soft foods. so as long as you plan your food and drinks, and feel like visiting casually (no horseshoe throwing, ok?) you should be fine.

At two weeks I was on full liquids and recovering well.

The only thing I remember about that time was that I was still mentally fuzzy. Some people also struggle early out with fluctuating hormones which can lead to moodiness, depression, etc.

As long as you take it easy and be gentle with yourself, you should be ok. Just don't plan to participate in any sack races!
