I am 6 days post op and am exhausted. The pain is just about gone, but i feel dizzy and like i have to lay down all the time. Will i ever feel normal and have energy again? When did it start coming back?

I have had a few but cant even get 1/2 of it in so its more of a waste for me..im only 10 weeks out so maybe it will be worth it a few months from now

Hi Courtney, Im just about 2 months out and am averaging 600-700 cal a day

I dont see a difference yet!

Thanks Teddy...im a slave to the scale...im gonna hide it and just pay attention to my clothes for a while.

Had my surgery July 30th and I wanted to give an update. I am feeling 100% myself again....i struggled about whether i would ever feel normal again and the answer is YES! I am on soft foods and i've lost 18lbs so far. I hope everyone is doing well.

I know...my losses this week have been slow. I'm going to up my exercise on Monday. Dr says im cleared for all exercise then

Im walking 30 min daily...no stall yet...how about u?

I am so frustrated. I called my surgeon Monday and they said they submitted everything to Horizon BC/BS for approval. I called Horizon today and they said they didnt get the paperwork from the surgeon! My surgery is just a week away and now I dont know if i will get approval in time. I called thw surgeons office back and they assured me that it was submitted. Has anyone faced this?

Thanks...you helped a lot! I feel better

Im 4 days post op and i cant get anymore then 10g of protein in a day. And on top of that only around 20 oz of liquids total. Am i going to get sick? I know i will be able to do better when i can add protein shakes with milk, which is on Monday. I think its hard for me because i cant get use to the clear protein drinks. Ive always had a hard time with them. The chocolate protein shakes were never a problem for me so im looking foward to that. Anybody else struggling this bad with protein intake?

Oh my Goodness! My day is just about here. I cant believe this time tomorrow I will be sleeved. I go in tomorrow at 7:15am. Keep me in your prayers.

Surgery went well...but im in a lot of pain...when do u start to feel normal sgain

I agree,,,i had mine done the same day and all i can think is "why did i do this to myself?". The gas pains finally left this morning,,.but it is so hard to get my fluids in,,.i hope we see the light soon
