I was sleeved on Feb 26. I came home from the hospital March 1. I have a drain in that isn't scheduled to come out until March 20. My incision sites are itching like crazy. I called the office and they told me to take benadryl. I am taking my vitamins and drinking my protein drinks. My energy is extremely low. I realize that I am only a week out from surgery but I'm starting to get frustrated. How long did it take before you guys started to get energy and or feeling better?

I also had a drain. I had to baby it. I emptied, measured cleaned and logged its contents. It was work. But I believe I'm healthier for it.

I had low energy for quite some time after surgery but i rolled with it instead of fighting against it. I didn't need stress adding complications to the pot so i tried to remain super chill about everything. It was major surgery after all and i was honesty happy to be alive.

My incisions took a while to heal and were very itchy so i cleaned *around* the incisions with alcohol before putting the hydrocortisone cream *near* the incisions. It helped alot.

One week down many more to go !

I was sleeved on Feb 25th and I feel like a different person today. Hang in there it will get better.

I was sleeved on the 25th too and I'm just getting some energy back. Different for everyone, but like@gabybab said it will get better!
