Recommended Posts

Hi everyone,

4 days post op and want to know if others are feeling as tired as I do. I'm also getting frequent headaches and craving coffee. Would love to get some tips on how to energize myself.

headaches usually go with the caffeine withdrawals, as for being tired it took me a week or two to get back in the swing of things, but it gets better each day.

Hang in there!

I was sleeved on the 9th also. I did have headaches late in the day on day 2 and 3 but I contributed it to the neck pain that I've been having, perhaps from not being able to sleep like I usually do. As for coffee, I've had it everyday since I returned home. It's on my list of Clear liquids that I can have, as long as I don't use a dairy Creamer. I haven't been able to drink a whole cup, but I will sip about half a cup

The only problem other than that I am having is some tightening in my chest whenever I eat or drink. This may be due the hernia that Dr. Moore repaired, hopefully though, this too passes. I'm really ready to get back to normal life and activities. I've been walking 2-3 times a day for 15 minutes on my treadmill.

I like coffee, but haven't had any headaches. I would say it may be caffeine withdrawal. Maybe ask you NUT when you can start your coffee fix again? I would say you would probably start during your Nourishing liquids Phase (Phase 2).

I had surgery the 9th too. I'm feeling so hungry also drained and tired. Today I ate a little Greek yogurt and it helped a little meaning maybe 4 spoonfuls in 6 hours. Im not sure it was a good idea but it did help me a little with the hunger. I'm not a caffeine drinking so no headaches.

I'm a Nov 9th sleevie... I feel pretty good. I accidentally took a single gulp of Protein shake this morning. Yikes. I've never been a big eater - just a bad eater. That said, I have to remind myself to drink. I'm on full liquids for another week. I have a cup of Soup sitting right next to me as I type this. It's 1/2 cup and I think I've had 10 sips the past hour. :( Hoping pureed foods give me a bit more energy.

How are the Nov 9TH PEOPLE doing? I feel like i can eat and drink too much.

I was sleeved on the 9th and I think I'm just barely getting enough Protein and liquids. Its hard to constantly drink all day. As far as drinking too much, I seem to be able to drink my Breakfast shake (8 oz) within about 20 mins but my wife (also sleeved on the 9th) takes about an hour. After that meal though its tough to get in more and more liquids.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
