When will i start to feel ok?

[Sabredy12 55]

I had my surgery 12/12 and while I am feeling better everyday there is also another set back each day. While today I wasn't as sore but I'm as weak as water!! Getting fed up now

Yikes! You just had major surgery and today is only the 15th! Give yourself a break and keep acknowledging you are feeling better everyday. Call your doc about the weakness, and perhaps he/she can give you some direction. I am post-op from 12/11, and can tell you I have barely done anything other than walk, doze, read and visit with friends. My shower knocks me out, and afterwards I need a nap! I noticed today when I bent over to pick something up, it felt easier. I consider that to be a HUGE step towards full recovery! Best Wishes...

Getting impatient I guess, patients were never my forte!! What's ur diet like??

For me, days 3 to 7 were the worst for the pain and ever-changing bizarre aches and pains. Give yourself a break - sip your Protein as much as you can- that will help with the feeling of weakness. Your body needs the nutrition and the calories. Sip as much as you can, and rest. By day 10 you'll feel a lot better.

I felt almost completely better by day 8 or 9, but was tired for a couple of weeks. The pain was pretty much gone around day 3. Day 4 or 5 my body remembered how to swallow/drink just a touch more. It is a process, no matter how you look at it...

I am in the same spot. I'm so tired and weak today. Boo.

I am also from 12/12- I'm just focusing on getting my liquid intake and I keep moving around. Because when I stay lying down and switch to get up my stomach pulls and it hurts. Does anyone else have that. I can't even sit up straight. boo.

I started feeling more like myself after day 10, it goes by fast, hang in there kid....

Your so early post-op give yourself some time you'll feel better everyday. Keep walking, keep sipping.

I went for a walk around town today with hubby and baby., and felt very very weak I'm sure it's the fact that I've had nothing to eat for nearly a week now. I'd put up with everything else if u had some energy!?!

I was sleeved 11/28, and was the same. Day 4 I slept all day and was weak. I was on free Fluid so went back to the Protein Shakes (sipping) and came good, I just needed some fuel.

I think that's exactly how I am, defo need something. I'm gonna have Protein tomorrow x

I had my sleeve surgery on 12-9 and I find that the scale is till up from my weight the morning of surgery. Is that normal?

This thread is exactly what I wanted to post about today. I am post op day 6 and am felling frustrated that I cannot even finish a shower without feeling flushed and weak and sweaty. Like I'm going to pass out. My heart races and I just feel so weak. My plan for today was to go to the grocery store, but all I can manage is to shower and get dressed lol I hate feeling this way! Guess I'll try for the store tomorrow. I drank half a Protein Drink before the shower, but I just can drink fast enough to keep up my energy! Does anyone have any suggestions about how to feel better with more energy?

Good post. I've been thinking wondering same thing. 6 days post-op and weak as can be. Going back to work tomorrow. I hope I can make it.
