I just got my sleeve four days ago. Feeling much better now that I am home and away from the hospital. Fighting gas pain and soreness but otherwise doing great. Got my sleeve after waiting one year and attending hundreds of appointments, classes and stuff. l still feel like I didnt really know what to expect. So it takes about a month to feel normal again?

Congratulations! Yes, you will begin to feel better each day. Be gentle with yourself, get plenty of rest, and take things one day at a time.

Yeah for you! Yes it will take about a month or so to feel your strength recharged. Everyone is different.... Just take one day at a time. I use gas x strips for the gas and it has helped me tons! Best wishes

13 Days post op revision and I feel great! Back to my normal routine minus the lifting and no problems. I just get tired by about 3pm but I just think its because I am not eating much for energy. Trying to get the Protein in is hard. I can eat pureed/soft foods but I really don't have much of an appetite so I kind of have to force myself to eat. Best of luck!

I had to go to classes, appointments for a year to meet the bariatric protocol for my insurance. Stuff happened like my paperwork didnt get sent out by the doctor by my primary and the whole process took a long time. Starting to feel better now on my fifth day out. @ Sherrypep ouch! revision sounds scary I am hoping no more hospitals and surgeries for me. Be praying for you for a fast recovery.

      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.
