Depends on how you heal and how hard you push yourself. I felt pretty close to normal by about two weeks post op. The fatigue lasted until I could eat soft foods - the long liquid diet my surgeon requires was challenging for me. The most lingering pain for me was a dull ache on my side if I tried to side sleep - that lasted the longest. Maybe close to a month. Everything else healed up pretty quickly and nicely. I was pleasantly surprised by how quickly I felt normal again.

Congrats on that new sleeve!

Its been 2 weeks for me and I feel almost normal. I still got a little soreness but other than the fact I am tired all the time I am having no trouble getting around. I've been sleeping really well with out any meds also. So that's a plus lol.

I was sleeved Monday 11/4 and I feel pretty damn good. My incisions don't hurt. I just feel kind of 'wrong' inside, but it's not painful. I had a bad headache since the nite of surgery, but have felt pretty good since this morning. Especially after getting home and being in my own home.

      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.
