I got sleeved yesterday and I was wondering when I will begin to feel normal again. I still have sharp gas pains and stomach cramps. I'm also so drowsy.

I'm 5 days post-op and I'm amazed how good I feel. Hang in there. Day one and two were the worst.

Every day is better... when did I see a marked improvement.. That was 6 weeks in.

yeah I'm 4 days out and feel pretty good. I think childbirth was much worse for me, but that's just my experience

I had it done Wednesday and today I'm feeling pretty good. Each day a little better.

I am five days out and feel really good. I went to the grocery store today, and went to grab a cup of decaf coffee and some talk time with fellow sleevers. We all heal differently, so keep walking and getting those fluids in, and you will begin to feel better with each day.

The first three days were not fun. I remember walking in the hotel with my sister with this miserable expression on my face and that nasty taste in my mouth. There were other women who had their surgeries a day or two a head of me and they were so cheerful and happy. I just loathed them. One of them told me that I need to hang on till day three and that it was going to get much much better. It did. The first two days out of hospital will be hell and tiring but then your energy levels will come back and you will stop feeling so miserable. Give it 3-4 days.

I am 12 days out and the gas is almost completely gone. My incisions are healing well and I feel pretty good...walking every day and devoted to caring for myself as I heal. Putting myself first right now. You will feel better every day you wake up.

I'm 5 days out and still really sore where they took my stomach out of the biggest incision. It's not the actual incision that hurts, but the muscles behind it. It's a deep and nagging soreness. Feels a bit like a pulling feeling.

I'm a little discouraged because others are feeling almost completely better by now and going shopping and to the grocery store and I only get up to walk and use the restroom. I couldn't imagine going out right now

Everybody recovers at a different rate.

I never really had a lot of sharp pain, but had deep aches like I'd been kicked that started getting a lot better at about a week out.

I have auto-immune arthritis and had to be off my meds for the surgery, so I didn't really feel back to normal until probably over a month out, but it got significantly better after I got on the pureed/soft foods stage, which was after my 2 week checkup, so about 3 weeks out there was a significant increase in energy for me.

So hang in there, it really does get better!!

I am 7days out and for the most part I feel well ,I've just had 2 incidents with dumping this week and boy that's no fun let me tell u. Ull start to move around a lil more in a couple of days, I have found that even walking around for a min of 10min every day is key for everthing.
