I know that everyone is different.

I know everyone is different, but I'm wondering how long it took you to feel 100% after surgery? My worst fear is that I won't heal properly or it will take months and months to feel normal. Just wondering what others experience was like. :)

I was functional after about a week but really did not feel normal in terms of energy until about 8 weeks.

Just call them, it's not a big deal. They actually made mine shorter an inch to have a higher bmi.

I am 4 weeks post sleeved. Every day I feel stronger but far from normal. My doctor told me normal usually occurs 6 months to a year. I am still in the healing phase. With this being said ,my expectations were put on a realistic track. Slow and Easy.

Took me about 5 weeks to feel somewhat human again.

I had a huge improvement in my energy and ability to walk after a week. I was doing great then had a gallbladder attack and had that surgery 4 weeks after my gastric bypass surgery. I know am feeling great again. Been 4 weeks since second surgery and have been back to work 2 weeks now.

Day 3 or 4, I felt really good with the exception of stomach muscular pain (like overworked ab muscles). After 7 years lap band, I had the band to sleeve revision which may be why for my speedy recovery.

Decided to add this: I did have trouble feeling hungry and that bothered me, but after day 16 when my stomach swelling went down, the fake hunger feelings dropped off.

I had the revision on Tuesday 9/27, still feeling under the weather, can't seem to get enough fluids in, trying to drink but so hard. Stomach still very sore especially the one large site. Also doesn't help I have a cough, so every time I cough hurts worse. How long did it take to get enough fluids in?

      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.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
