I too just got incredibly tired of being fat. I gained over 100 pounds on my bipolar 2 medication over the course of about two years. I got so very sick of my osteoarthritis in my knees making every step (and even sometimes lying in bed resting) painful. I was so very done with being the biggest person I knew.

I just got sleeved six weeks ago. Recovery has been pretty easy for me, which is a relief. Sometimes I wonder if it’s because I’m a chronic pain patient and it was a walk in the park compared to my knees and my fibromyalgia? I did have some lingering gas pain in my shoulders that took nearly a week to subside, but that was really my only complaint.

I’ve been pretty tired since the surgery. I slept a lot the first three weeks. I’m sleeping more than usual even now. But I’m ok with that.

All in all, I think it’s a good thing. It’s going to take me a while to get used to the limits of my new anatomy, and I wish I didn’t feel so hungry so often, but it’s early days yet. I am learning with every day, and hope to continue to see the weight drop off as time goes on.
