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

Where do you get those?

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??

Iliana, I made an appointment prior to surgery to see a psychologist post op. I wasnt sure how I would feel emotionally after surgery. Actually I felt pretty good a few weeks out but it really turned into a great benefit anyway.I can hash out a few things before they really bother me and she’s been wonderful.

You’ve had major surgery so don’t rule out a medical issue. But with that said you have young children and life can get overwhelming. You might be surprised talking it over with an outsider.

Best Wishes.

I was actually doing group therapy prior to surgery and that is one of the things that got me prepared for it. I havent done them in these weeks because I haven't felt up to it. Might have to start again, I just didn't expect to feel this way.

Are you going through this process alone?? Even with the surgery being completed it's still a process, any support at home??

I have family support as far as help for kids etc which is huge but I am alone for most of the day, and I just try to get by.

Is there a reason you are eating a bite every 5 mins (is that in your instructions)?

At my previous appointment Nurse Practitioner Valerie said my calorie count was so low I could actually "graze" not going to 1 It might have been what led to my Obesity Downfall and a Strong #2 Nothing appeals to Graze Upon. and #3 I kind of enjoy my smaller than Tomkitten body. People other day " Girl, what DID YOU do to yourself? I thought you were your cousin,never realized you 2 resembled each other!" Well me too, she never got bigger than a 14 and rubbed it in, and if I achieve the goal I set me I might be a 1/2 size bigger, but then I have 4 inches of height on her, so should be okay after all👩👸👍

My doctor's office. After seeing my doctor and getting a blood test, he put in an order for a full year of B-12 injections. I just get a nurse appointment once a month and she gives me a shot. It really helps my energy levels.
