Feeling badly 4 days after sleeve surgery



Recommended Posts

Hi! I had sleeve surgery on Monday afternoon and was feeling OK until today. Now I'm slightly nauseated, have a mild headache, feel bloated and have almost no energy. I've been following my doctor's post-op instructions. Is this morning? Thank you!

I was fine the first week and then this week I’ve been tired a lot. Like can’t funtion tired. I’m 10 days out still on liquids. I even fell over and slammed one of my incisions on the corner of a cabinet knocking it open. Dr said it was all normal. If your feel way to unnormal please call your surgeon.

Thank you Nataliesmom. I did call my surgeon's office today and they didn't seem overly concerned since I'm not running a fever. Just hope this stage passes soon. Pam

I was sleeved Monday.

Purely on liquids and puddings. Had a large hiatal as well, I feel pretty good. Definitely some bloating and a tiny bit of stomach pain (short lived) after eating too much.

Other than that a decent amount of abdomen pain

I didn't have a lot of pain post-surgically, but I was completely tired and without energy for at least a month. Now, at 2.5 months out, I'm still easily tired, despite sleeping fairly well. And I keep running into stalls--or maybe my loss has just slowed a great deal. I have faith that this will work in the long run, though. No matter how I look at my loss so far, it's still greater than at any other time in my life, and I know it's not done.

Hi Pam, I had surgery October 30, 2017. My first day post-op was horrible. Pain cross my chest and spasms all day. Dr. Wanted to keep me an extra day. I should have listened. Trying to keep up with the liquids was very hard. I also was drained no energy x about 2 weeks. I was started on soft diet on Tuesday and can't seem to eat much. Dr says it's normal x me. I've had the lapband, revision and finally had to be taken out in January. He said I have scar tissue and expects it to be tight. Hope you recover quickly.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
