6 Days Out And Feeling Good

[UK Cathy 977]

Well here I am 6 days ot and feeling good. I had my op in Czech Rep (I live in UK) on 3rd April, I should have come home on 6th but I was feeling sick on day of travel so surgeon said No. He was so good though he ordered immediate xrays and bloods to make sure that there was no sleeve problem and everything came back OK. I felt much better on 7th and travelled home then. Since arriving home I have been feeling tired but OK. I am getting in my liquids (Phew) and getting my Protein by putting the Protein powder in greek yoghurt. One thing that is not brilliant is sleeping -I am not sleeping through and am waking 2 or 3 times per night which is adding to my feeling tired. Anyone else have this?

So so far no real problems or regrets.

Hi, I had my surgery on the 4th. I too am feeling good. I'm not allowed any food, just Clear Liquids for the first week. So ape juice, chicken broth and Water or anything else that is clear and liquid us ok. In sleeping ok and am not hungry or craving anything even though I'm only getting about 300 calories a day. Good luck feel better soon.

When I came home, the first six nights i had so many problems sleeping in bed. I sleep on my right side, and the stiches made me so sore - even when i tried to turn the other way i was in so much pain.

I don't think i had any "solid" sleep, maybe periodically dozed off, i really didn't get any good sleep through the night..

Day 7, all of a sudden my side started to show an improvement, enough that i could sleep much better. I continued to slowly feel better enabling me to sleep much better.

Good luck to you

Sweet dreams

For me week two is when I suddendly started feeling great! My energy came back and I felt normal, other than the changes in eating of course. I did somehow pull my muscles with a sneeze when caused a side pain on my sutures for a couple of weeks off an on pretty intense. But nothing serious or of consequence. It's a pretty big surgery and even though there aren't much traces of it (i.e., little tiny scars) it's still a big deal. It takes some time to recover. But overall I am amazed at how quickly we all seem to get back on our feet. Hang in there! Sending lots of good thoughts your way for a super speedy recovery!!!!!
