I got sleeved 11/9 so it's only been 4 days. Today I feel so nauseous and struggling with my fluids. Got my walk in though, even if it was for 10 minutes. Every day I feel a little bit better but how long until I feel 100%? I know the next couple months will be a struggle but some insight will be helpful.

Congrats! That was my surgery day as well. It kind of sucks right now, and I'm having the same issues you are. Hoping it all gets better day by day. I'm also weak and lethargic, so that's keeping me from walking much. :/ Keeping you in my prayers!

Thank you for the kind words. Really struggling today.

I was sleeved on 8/21 the first week for me was the absolute pits, I had highs and lows but mainly lows. It took about 5 days for all of the gas pains to stop even with me walking quite a few miles. I know it is hard but please hang in there, after about a week you will feel better and most of your pain will be gone. I can not say how long it will be until you are 100% but what I can tell you that it will not be as long as you think. At about the two week mark I was walking about 3-5 miles several times a week. I work for a local fire department, as well as part time for a medical transport company so I lift patients in and out of the medic all day. Dr said that it would be about a 4-6 weeks before I would be cleared to go back to work. (not sure what you do just giving you a reference). Just hang in there you will be OK, just work the plan and keep moving!:D

I am close to you. I got my sleeve 11/8. Is it normal to gain weight post-op? I really worked in the weeks/months up to the surgery to loose 30 lbs. On surgery day I weighed in at 229. When I got home the next day I was 246! Most of the bloating is gone but I am still at 238. crazy

Thanks so much. This gives me a light at the end of the tunnel. I've been only managing 10-15 min walks. I appreciate the helpful words!

Yeah, I gained 5 pounds after surgery. I spoke with my surgeon today about it and he said it's because of all of the swelling and Fluid retention. I've lost all of it as of today, so now I'm back to my surgery weight. Really annoying though!

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
