I had my sleeve the same day and I also am still weak and so sore by the end of the day. Hopefully tomorrow will be better for both of us. We can do this!
Thank you. Yes, I know I can do this. The frustrating part is that in the first few days I felt terrific. I could putter around the house with no problem. I didn’t do much but I washed a small sink of dishes and picked up a little bit. Now, I am down and out. How are you this morning? I am a little dehydrated, so I am trying to get in extra water.
I am just trying to get around this morning. Going to use some ice chips to add some extra fluid in today. I decided to take the rest of this week off since I am still so weak. I’ve lost 14 pounds since the 24th. Not sure if that is normal or not. “Just keep drinking”
14#’s....I think I am going to cry. I have lost 3 . You must be younger than me. I am retired, so I don’t have to worry about getting back to work. So far I have 20oz water this morning. I am working on it.I am just trying to get around this morning. Going to use some ice chips to add some extra fluid in today. I decided to take the rest of this week off since I am still so weak.

My surgery was on 9-11. I am now at 6 was and lost 40 #. The problem is I am always nauseated with diarrhea and at times so fatigued. Now I have liver enzyme problem. Does any one have this problem
It's a day by day thing. Check your BP and BS. Ask MD to run lab wok to see you liver enzyme,RBI.wbc,iron. Those may be a help in explaining the fatigue
I’m 41. I’m also barely getting in my fluids. Maybe half a protein shake a day. I’m sure that’s why I am losing so fast right now. Would be okay losing slower if I could just drink enough.
I am so sorry to hear you have had such a rough time of it. Glad to hear they figured out what was going on. Hope it is smooth sailing from here on out. Get that protein in!
2 shakes is great. That should help get your strength back in no time. After my surgery I had extreme nausea and was not able to get the shakes down. I had very little strength and had none of the problems you’ve had. I can’t imagine the hurdles you are dealing with. I hope your surgeon is happy with how things are progressing now. Let us know how your appointment goes.
No problem. That’s what we are here for. I depended on this group for support when I first came out of surgery. Now I just pay it back.
Sounds like you are on the mend, so sorry you had to go through that, but just think positive and you will get through it. The other side is so much brighter than you ever imagined, you can do it
I had bariatric surgery, three months later I am just getting better, age does play a huge factor in recovery, just get lots and lots of protein. I do Adkins and Premeir, I cannot do the powder or the Isopure.
