When will I feel normal again?

I'm only 2 weeks post op, so I don't expect to be back to normal yet. I just feel like these couple weeks habe been so long. My stomach always feels something, achy, gassy, nausea, not right. I'm just curious when did your stomach feel normal again.

    I vote for Unjury as well. Not as tasty as Premier protein but less calories and sugar. My stomach started feeling better once I was allowed dense protein.

  • It really wasn't until week 3 I was feeling like myself. I did go back to work that week. As soon as you get back to your normal routine hopefully you'll feel better.

Now at three weeks out I feel nearly normal, hopefully you will too.

Thanks. I'm on Omeprazole. I've been taking the premier protein because they are so high in protein and I feel like I can't get that much down yet. Maybe I should use the gas x more frequently and especially before bed. I hadn't thought of changing the shakes.

Sleeved May 24. I felt normal again right at the one month mark when I was allowed to eat chicken, veggies, and fruit (very limited). I'm still taking prilosec twice a day and gas X.

I was sleeved 6/13 so it's been about 12 days ago for me. I totally understand your pain and I ask myself that as well. When will I feel "normal" I think for me it's the ability to eat most "normal foods" and also I would agree the chest pressure/ cramps that sometimes are occurring for me going away would be a good help as well!
