I'm home recovering. Didn't sleep well at all. Feeling nausea and pain. Following the diet but it's hard. Have zero appetite and the gas pain stinks. Sip sip walk walk is hard to do. When will I start to feel normal again

Ah, if I had a dollar for every time i asked that question in my early days post-op. You really start to question if you will EVER feel normal again. The truth is, it gets better day-by-day, but I would say I wasn't really settled into my new normal until I was about 3-4 months post-op. By then I'd been back on solid foods and healed up enough to really have a handle on how much food I could safely eat without the "one bite too many" feeling and I had come to terms with not being able to turn to food for comfort anymore.

Hi. Congrats on ur surgery. Sorry to hear ur in pain. It gets better. Im 5 days post op sleeve. For me pain gradually subsided from day 5 into 6 waking up with no pain. Few things u need asap... gas x, stool softener, glycerin suppositories, metamucil/benefiber Fiber, bacitracin ointment, heavy lotion. Walk, it helps.
