Does anyone feel sort of sickly every day? I know I do and I am really tired of it. Am I the only one? I haven't seen anyone else mention this. I have only recently been sleeved. I try to get all my Protein in. I just feel tired and weak and almost like I am coming down with something...every day.

I can't take any pain medicine which I think would help me feel better. I have tried children's liquid ibuprofen. I am afraid of taking anything that might make my blood too thin.

Does anyone else have this? :confused:

Please don't get discouraged. You have been through a major surgery. Plus, I'm sure your eating habits are much different now.

It takes a while to start getting all your strength back. Seems like about the 3rd month for me that I stopped feeling "draggy". It does get better. Give yourself time.

Congratulations and welcome to the loosers bench!!!

Thank you Millie. I am going to try to just hang in there and believe it will get better. I appreciate your support!

Yes I have posted that I feel flu like. I am almost 4 weeks out. I also have been having severe back pain and last night I took some of the sublingual pain meds I brought back from Mexico. That not only helped the pain it also made me more relaxed and less irritable which has been a big problem for me the past 2 weeks. I was on cymbalta for pain pre-op and I started back on it last night. I do feel slightly better today. still very tired.

I am hoping the cymbalta will help me get back on track

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
