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.

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.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
