So WEAK

[Unbridled 152]

I am 4 days post op and I am weak and tired all the time. I read other post from folks that are 4 days out and it seem like they are doing leaps and bounds better than I am. I am repulsed by the thought of eating (who would have EVER thought that I could say that with a straight face) however I do well with fluids though.

When ever I eat I am ABSOLUTELY miserable. I ate 2 tablespoons of yogurt around 1200 and it is sitting in my stomach like a brick. I am so full and my well meaning family keeps trying to make sure that I eat...sigh. I just want to feel normal.

My sleeve surgery was 8/30/16. I didn't have much pain but wow I was weak and tired for a solid 2-1/2 weeks. I slept so much I became dehydrated and had to be hospitalized. I didn't want food either. My PCP and surgeon said I just did not tolerate the general anesthesia well. At 3 weeks I finally felt like me again. It really frustrated me that I kept reading that many felt great at 5 days out.

Know that your body has endured something big and trust it to heal itself. You WILL be ok. Give yourself time and don't compare yourself to anyone else. You can do this!
