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.

      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!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
