To the vets: At what point did you start to feel normal after surgery? (I get that it's a new normal.)

I'm less than 5 months out but felt very normal by 3 months.

I agree with @@Sleeveless in seattle. I am at 3 months now, and feel pretty much normal. But a new normal... you can read my blog about it!

Good to hear! I was sleeved July 17 2014 and am still off work and was reading about people who are back at work after 1 -2 wks. I think everyday is better but I still have a little soreness at umbilical puncture site and need Tylenol hear and there. Feel like I have to work to get fluids/protein/vitamins all in throughout the day and not get behind. I started thinking maybe it's

My age - 52 yrs old. ?? I wanted to be one of those that gets back on her feet quickly and I usually plow thru anything but this has slowed me down a bit??

I'm not 15 months out and I would say by about 8 months or so I started to get into the groove of my "new normal" and now I can't imagine my life any other way. I love this strange new wonderful normal!

I am 52 and I did not feel normal till 5 months out. Made me nervous, but it finally happened!

I am bout 10 weeks out and feeling much better each day (52 too) I feel a new normal if that makes sense-I absolutely hated the first few weeks I was so depressed which is not normal for me

Got more energy and can do so much more these days! I didn't even know before i was sleeved that I was struggling

I had my surgery 10 yrs ago and felt normal, where My weight leveled out and my body had adjusted to this new way of living at approximately a year out. I initially had a lot issues keeping food down, but that dissolved over time.
