Just not feeling good

[angie_is_losing_it 90]

So I was sleeved March 11. I had a really rough go the first two weeks but have felt better compared to then. But I still wake up every day feeling like crap. I don't sleep very well which may be contributing... also my inscisions are taking a long time to heal and they even were leaking a little pus which I'm not sure is normal at 3 weeks out. I find it very difficult to get all my fluids in. It just is so dang uncomfortable. Anyone else feeling blah??

I felt meh after surgery too but it really did get better with time

This distance out with pus as opposed to lymph (the completely clear stuff) I would go to my doctor, especially if the area round the incision feels warmer than surrounding skin and/or you have a temperature of 38 degrees or more.

Regardless make sure you’re drinking you recommended amount or as close as poss. Can’t but help no matter what and like the lovely lady said there’s still lots of healing going on.

Pus is definitely worth a call to the surgeon's office. Hope you feel batter soon.

call your surgeon about the pus, but I felt like crap for a while post op.

I went to surgeons office yesterday. None of my inscisions are infected which is good.

This is me. I just feel crappy all the time! I dont want to do anything, go anywhere... I have two kids who are elementary age so I do have to get up in the morning and get them to school then pick them up in the afternoon...but besides that I just want to lay in bed.[emoji45]

Did you mention to them your lack of energy? I know I had zero energy for the first month. Hopefully you’re feeling better in a week or so. Hang in there , your body’s been through a lot

It gets better, I had to stay in the hospital for two days because I couldn't keep anything down. I was miserable I literally just started feeling better this past weekend but I am tired because my sleep is off. Just keep pushing. I tell myself in time it all gets better. Results are coming. Baby steps!

May need to speak with someone skilled in Bariatrics. You may be suffering from a post- surgical depression , they do happen more than what you would think.

I felt crappy until I got on solid food. I have also added B-12 shots. They are helping immensely.

I felt pretty flat for the first 4 weeks and only really started to feel better at 7 weeks, suddenly had more energy, was sleeping better, able to get more fluids in.

Hang in there, it gets better 🌺

I'm willing to bet in another couple of weeks you'll perk up dramatically. I thought I'd be good to go in a week or two and then I could get some stuff done while I was on leave. (I was off for 6 weeks). Nope. I really needed every day of that leave, and then I was still pooped out for a couple weeks after I went back to work. But the further out from surgery I got, the better my diet became and I got more Protein, more Water, more consistent with my Vitamins, etc. and I perked up.

Give it a bit more time!

I was feeling the same, my surgery was 4/12. Turns out I was dehydrated with a very low potassium. Went to the ER & ended up staying the night. No fun but I am feeling better. Trying to stay hydrated & eat more. I wasn’t eating as much as I should of.
