I had my sleeve done last Wednesday. I am able to eat normal for but in very very small quantities. Pushing the liquids first. But since Sunday I haven't been able to sleep at night. I was up till 1am Sunday night 2am Monday and tursday and 1 pm last night or tonight and I've been up since 3am!! I'm not in any pain or discomfort other than not being able to sleep directly on my stomach but that's ok. I feel like I could run a marathon. These nights I'm up I've been deep cleaning my bathroom and bed room or grocery shopping or cleaning the kitchen and mopin floors. I have 4 kids I'm gonna crash sometime. Help?!?!

Not sleeping much either, but finally down to waking up once/night now instead of half a dozen! I definitely don't have your energy yet, though - care to share? ;)

I am in the same boat (surgery was 12/2). I was thinking it was because I was home during the day resting, whereas I'm usually so busy. Went back to work yesterday and was more tired last night, but still up Til after midnight lol. (Wish I was productive and cleaning though lol)

Are you eating regular foods? Like not liquids? Just small quantities?

I know everyone is different post op. I am not supposed to have purées until next Wednesday, but I had some today and was stressing it so I'm glad to know that it's more dependent on the surgeon. Will still work on following my dr's orders, but glad I didn't screw anything up.

      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.
