Just going stir crazy



Recommended Posts

I am 14 days post op and tried to ride my bike today and was still to soar to ride. I am going stir crazy taking it easy. I was an active person before surgery and now I am feeling stuck and held down.

I know, me too. I am 3 weeks post-op and I have to go slower then I used to but everyday I feel stronger. I don't feel bad just don't have the energy. Also, I usually take a short nap in the afternoon or I have to go to bed by 7:00 PM. That's how tired I am.

@@Beni, I am going to bed at 7pm too. But I wake up ready to start my day a 3am and then I'm ready for bed again at 6am. I know with time I will find my new normal, just wishing for some instant gratification.

Lol. Me too. My sleep schedule is so messed up. Last night actually was not too bad. I delayed my nap until late afternoon and forced myself to stay up until 10:00 PM. I only woke up once at 2:00 AM but after a little TV in bed I managed to fall asleep and woke up at 6:00AM. I can live with that. But most days my night's sleep is 6 hours max and fractured. I think I'll have to find a routine and stick to it to reset my clock.

I'm 5 weeks out and still a little sore, however I go to the gym mon, wed, and friday and then do the stationary bike on tues and thurs. I've been going stir crazy as well, but now getting out more. It might wear my out faster, but its glorious knowing im looking and feeling better. theres a light at the end of the tunnel!

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
