Thank you it makes me feel better knowing I am not the only one.

I was too tired to exercise through the first month - it was very depressing. I still can't do a hard workout. I can go for a long walk, but no running or extended weight lifting. I felt much better around week 6. I think it had more to do with eating more normal food.

If your body is tired, don't push it.

I am on BP med not for high BP but irregular heart rate maybe that is causing it. I have an appointment with a cardioligist on Monday I will see.

This may be a silly question but are you on BP or other meds that might make you feel sluggish? You might need to have them adjusted. Just a thought. BTW, I never ever want to work out before I go. The feeling I have after is the only thing that gets me there.

I am on acid med and bp med I have done some research on a supplement call L-Carnitine it is suppose to be for energy for people with diabetes, irregular heart, people dieting it has free radicals to help red blood cells kinda like Vitamin B. I am going to get some and try it I called the doctor and he said I could take it and see if it helps.

I feel the same way and I was sleeved on April 4th. I recently started taking an Iron pill as well as the B12, multi Vitamin, blood pressure and acid reflux meds. There's only so much Protein you can get in without getting sick or going over in calories..try a Protein Bar, or maybe a spoonful of Peanut Butter. I'm hoping that with some more time when my body is out of starvation mode and I'm getting enough to eat, I'll have more energy. I plan on going to the y and getting in some walk time in the pool as well as some walking around the local park, hopefully that'll get the adrenalin going. Let me know if you find anything else that works, good luck to us .sleep.gif" />

I am getting in 45-60grams a day of Protein may be thats not enough?

protein!!! you have to have it

I was sleeved 4/6/11 and I am very tired all the time and don't feel good. I am drinking my Water and taking a multi Vitamin and vitamin B-12 under my tongue daily. I am losing around 4-5 lbs a week, but I still stay very tired and do not feel like doing anything I barely get up to go to work it sucks. I thought the more I lost the better I would feel. I realy want to start exercising but I am so exhausted all the time. Any suggestions out there?

Me and my sister where sleeved on April 6 as well and we both find that walking realy helps with the gas right after surgery my left should and chest realy hurt from all the air they but in but as soon as I started walking it started feeling better. The more you walk the more air you can get rid of also have you lost alot of weight before your surgery your pressure on your CPAP may be a little too high now. I am a resgistered sleep tech and a registered respiratory therapist I have worked with sleep apnea pts for over 5 yrs if you have any questions about the CPAP I may be able to help.

Hi,

I am several days out from my surgery. April 6 is when I had it. I am having some discomfort when I hiccough or burp. I am trying to drink without adding air to my stomach. However I feel this is a totally losing battle as I have sleep apnea and I'm sure I get full of air every single night. My partner had the same surgery last year but has no real trouble either hiccoughing or burping? I'm not terribly concerned yet but my partner is a tad concerned.

Am I the only one with this issue post -operative? I would massage my stomach to move the air around but even touching it is really painful still.

Just looking for some feedback or comforting words of wisdom if anyone has any.

Thanks.

I am getting sleeved tomorrow and am excited and nervous at the same time. I can't wait to start my new healthier life. Hope to talk to you all in a week or so. I love reading all of the inspirational words and even the drawbacks because there is always someone out there who can help the person over the hump.

Me and my sister are getting the sleeve tomorrow good luck.

I am right there with ya. I am on day 3 of liquids and am a little tired too. People at my office laugh because they can hear my stomach growling. I keep thinking of my surgery on the 29th and stick with the program.

My sister is on the liquid diet as well we are both having the surgery on April 6 she is also tired. Good luck!

Day two of the liquid diet and I was really hungry last night. I drank a some broth that helped a little but was still hungry last night. This morning I am filling a little better not as hungry but very tired.
