When will the sluggishness subside?



Recommended Posts

I was sleeved on 10/6, as of today, still so weak and nausea comes and goes. I'm following the post op instructions to a TEE! Any advise or comparable situations out there?

Give it a little more time. U jst had major surgery only ten days ago. As u start eating more u will get a little more energy.

I am also 9weeks out and i still have nausea....lol your stomach has to get use to food again. Use the dissolvable anti-nausea pills you were given after surgery. They should help.

Good luck

I had mines on 10/8/14 and I feel exactly the same way you do. My nutritionist says that's the first phase and the first month is always tough. I keep taking my nausea pill and still take small sips of liquids to digest. We will keep posted our journey. Best wishes.

Each person is different. I am sure that your team told you that it will take time to heal and feel better. It is your stomach that has been altered. And it is your stomach that causes the nausea. I had periods of nausea for over a year. I don't think that will happen to you. Take some Gravol when it is really bad. Be good to yourself while you are healing and know that it will get better, okay. :)

Any drug store sells Gravol for nausea. :)

I was sleeved on 10/6 as well. I don't have nausea as much as feeling bloated. I think I drink too much at one time. I'm a little worried that I've stretched my sleeve. I sincerely hope not. I struggle with sipping. Other than that my biggest issue is feeling absolutely exhausted. I really wish my doctor had mentioned that. I did not take LTD. I worked it out to work from home for 3 weeks post surgery. It has been a real struggle. I have a 2 hr nap at lunch everyday and I'm literally propping my head up to get to the end of the day. This week has really sucked because I had one employee on vacation, one sick all week and my boss off Wed - Fri so I had to be at least 3 people at any given moment. ARRRRGGGGHHHHHH!!! I can bearly concentrate as it is!!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
