15 days post op...Still catching up on Sleep!



Recommended Posts

I'm back at work 40+ hours a week..."physical labor" and all I can do is rest when I get home. I don't want to go anywhere but home after a long day. I'm not eating enough , not drinking enough fluids to go hanging with my girls. They don't understand...and I could care less it's the weekend. I know it will be at least another month before I feel like ME!...

How are you new sleevers feeling at work or after work?

Are you exhausted?

I went back to work at 2 weeks post op and I come home and sleep or at least. Remember we just put our bodies through a lot. I do feel better just sleepy a lot.

Yes, I think because I made it through the surgery....I don't focus on the "actual" surgery that I had. It's a serious surgery and I've been poked, chopped, & stitched...I should look how I actually feel...."like ****"[emoji23] but, I will never feel that bad...I will remain cute...even in pain!..

I'm on day 8 of liquid pre op diet and finding that I'm tired and don't have my normal energy. I'm expecting that to continue to decrease over these last few days leading to surgery. So, I expect post op will be the same. My boss had someone else go through this process and he warned me about being tired. So he's given me carte Blanche to work from home after I recover. That takes the pressure off since I have over an hour commute each way on mass transit.

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
