How long will it take to feel better?



Recommended Posts

I was sleeved Jan 22, and my tummy is not happy. Started pureed yesterday and have been sleeping during the day and wide awake at night. I feel bloated and icky, planning on going back to Clear Liquids tomorrow. Kinda discouraged, will this get better? Keep feeling like I'm having spasms.

I feel exactly the same way. I was sleeved in the 21st. No advice, but a lot of sympathy.

You're smart to go back to liquids...that's what my NUT told me to do if something bothered my stomach. Try again in a few days. Your stomach is still healing: think about what a 10 inch incision and staple line would feel like on your calf...it would be uncomfortable to walk for couple of weeks and you wouldn't consider going jogging. It will get better soon. Best of luck to you and congratulations on your new sleeve!

I can remember not sleeping well for a few weeks after surgery, was very tired took a nap or two. I made homage Soups because I couldn't handle the Protein Drinks. I did find moist fish was ok, eggs were not and sugar free popsicles were my best friend It got a little easier each day. Part of my sleep issues and fatigue were from my thyroid being off. I had to double my dosage and feel better a month after it was increased.

Best luck on your journey!

Back on clear liquids, was able to get rid of some gas. And Prayed A lot, thank you Jesus!

Had a good cry and a nap. Feeling better.

I may be expecting to feel great too soon, just seems so many ppl on here bounce back really fast. I must be a slow bouncer.

I was sleeved on the same day. I was advised to go backwards in the diet if I start feeling like that, so I think you are smart to do the same.

      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.
