suzzzzz 1,005 Posted September 9, 2016 Have you had a follow up with your surgeon? Make sure you check blood pressure regularly and as long as you are meeting your Protein and Water goals you will feel better and stronger each day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

adbevilac 4 Posted September 9, 2016 I had my sleeve 8/29. I would say it took me a week and a half to feel back to myself. (Minus the hungry as fuck feeling!) Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thatmeanone 240 Posted September 9, 2016 I'm 18 days out and I realized today I finally feel pretty good. I had a lot of muscle pain under one of my incisions - but I went back to work four days ago - and weird as it sounds I think it helped me heal a little quicker.

onewayoranother 35 Posted September 9, 2016 I am able to take in all Protein and stay hydrated. Mine is really more mental and fatigue. Checking BP is good idea.
