people tend to be doing pretty well and cleared for normal activity at around 4 weeks, but that is a general idea.

you may feel great sooner, or a little later.

I seem to recall from another thread that you are about 3 days out?

It is different for everybody, but you should turn a corner within the next couple of days. Then, it seems like it get a tiny bit better each day. You may hit a phase where you are exhausted, but for me that lasted less than a week.

Hitting your Protein and Water goals will help you heal faster. Hang in there!

I am day 2 post-op and if it wasn't for the largest incision I would feel fine. I am walking, getting in my fluids, taking my pain medication and sleeping. Yesterday was awful, today was better and hopefully tomorrow will be even better. I have to believe that or it would be depressing. I hope you are able to get to 100% so you can be all you want to be for your kids. Imagine how awesome life will be once we are feeling great again. Keep the faith, this too shall pass.

I think it depends on the person.

I have had a few problems for two months. I have heard from many they felt great right from the start and others say it takes a good 6 months to start feeling your new normal and being used to it. Each day is a new journey. Good luck to you.

Even with a minor post op complication, at ten days out today, I feel pretty good. I haven't required any pain meds since Wednesday. The sip sip sip is getting less annoying and becoming more enjoyable, as well as closer to reaching my daily goals. Like everyone says, we are all different, but the more positive you remain in your recovery, the better the outcome should be :). You got this!

@ rolosmom7 how soon did you go back to work and what did you experience ?

Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Went back day 13 to work half days. That was Tues and Wed. Thursday I worked from home and today I was able to hang until 2. I have a desk job, but in a very large building (a mile long). Walking to and from meetings when one ends at 10 and another starts at 10 was rough as it's a good hustle.

I have endometriosis as well, since the surgery it's been horrid. I came home and took some serious naps.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
