So I was sleeved March 11. I had a really rough go the first two weeks but have felt better compared to then. But I still wake up every day feeling like crap. I don't sleep very well which may be contributing... also my inscisions are taking a long time to heal and they even were leaking a little pus which I'm not sure is normal at 3 weeks out. I find it very difficult to get all my fluids in. It just is so dang uncomfortable. Anyone else feeling blah??

This distance out with pus as opposed to lymph (the completely clear stuff) I would go to my doctor, especially if the area round the incision feels warmer than surrounding skin and/or you have a temperature of 38 degrees or more.

Regardless make sure you’re drinking you recommended amount or as close as poss. Can’t but help no matter what and like the lovely lady said there’s still lots of healing going on.

Pus is definitely worth a call to the surgeon's office. Hope you feel batter soon.

Did you mention to them your lack of energy? I know I had zero energy for the first month. Hopefully you’re feeling better in a week or so. Hang in there , your body’s been through a lot

It gets better, I had to stay in the hospital for two days because I couldn't keep anything down. I was miserable I literally just started feeling better this past weekend but I am tired because my sleep is off. Just keep pushing. I tell myself in time it all gets better. Results are coming. Baby steps!

May need to speak with someone skilled in Bariatrics. You may be suffering from a post- surgical depression , they do happen more than what you would think.

I felt crappy until I got on solid food. I have also added B-12 shots. They are helping immensely.

I felt pretty flat for the first 4 weeks and only really started to feel better at 7 weeks, suddenly had more energy, was sleeping better, able to get more fluids in.

Hang in there, it gets better 🌺

I'm willing to bet in another couple of weeks you'll perk up dramatically. I thought I'd be good to go in a week or two and then I could get some stuff done while I was on leave. (I was off for 6 weeks). Nope. I really needed every day of that leave, and then I was still pooped out for a couple weeks after I went back to work. But the further out from surgery I got, the better my diet became and I got more Protein, more Water, more consistent with my Vitamins, etc. and I perked up.

Give it a bit more time!

I was feeling the same, my surgery was 4/12. Turns out I was dehydrated with a very low potassium. Went to the ER & ended up staying the night. No fun but I am feeling better. Trying to stay hydrated & eat more. I wasn’t eating as much as I should of.

      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.
