Strangely energized. Related to this whole sleeve journey?



Recommended Posts

I woke up today, a little more than three months out and about 45 pounds lighter, with an unusual feeling of energy. I am generally very low key, very laid back, very . . . okay, let's say it . . . LAZY. Today, I was not a lazy slug. I didn't feel the need to sit, lay down, rest. In fact, it never crossed my mind to stop doing all of the things that needed doing. Laundry, dusting, vacuuming, errands, cooking. What the heck is going on here??? Have I been taken over by an alien life form? Has this happened to anyone else? Should I call Ghostbusters? :)

Totally normal, and it only gets better. I have a really hard time lounging on the weekends now. I just want to go go go, and the husband is not happy about it since he's a homebody, and works all week.

I am having the same reaction! I am much more active now and I feel like I'm always doing something around the house! Another reason I am so happy with the sleeve! :)

Hopefully I have that to look forward to - I'm still feeling a little lethargic at the moment but that might be the heat too!

I have had bursts of energy, too! It almost makes me feel like I'm getting a little manic! I've been doing yard work like crazy on the weekends and feeling like I've lost at least 10 years! The more I do, the stronger I get, the better I feel! I still feel tired sometimes, too, but I just try to pay attention to what my body wants/needs at the moment.

Ride the high!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
