A lot of people say they felt tired after the initial surgery. I did not, in fact I felt normal. I started exercising the 2nd day. Could have done it day one but was scared I would mess something up. I had my Sleeve Feb 20, 2015. Around March 12th, I started to get extremely tired. I mean every evening, I'm dozing and fighting sleep as I drive home. Then I started dozing and losing focus behind the wheel going to work. The tiredness has gotten a little better since I started taking Iron pills, but not by much. I admit I'm bad with the Protein, mostly because I loathe it very very much. Furthermore if I drink all the protein I'm suppose to, I would never eat food. I just wouldn't be hungry. As of now I'm only getting about 375 calories in per day. I know that's low but with the protein, I'm just not hungry and when I try to force it, I get horrible pain right between the breast and usually it will come back up. I need the protein but it's keeping me from eating. On top of the tiredness is anyone extremely cold? I'm cold all the time. I'm sleeping with my sweater and hoodie on. House temperature is between 73 and 76. This is definitely unusual for me. I'm the girl who use to walk out in the snow barefoot. Never owned a actual winter coat until this year. Well I see my doctor 4/21 hopefully he has some answers and solutions for me. If anything is useful about the tiredness, I'll share it.

I've heard the cold is normal. Keep us posted. Yes, the Protein Shakes are not tolerable. I did buy some Syntrax Nectar fruit flavors and doctored them up with sugar free syrups. (Recipes online) I hit 57 grams of protein today, the best I've done so far. I'm curious to see what you find out. I'm averaging just under 400 calories too. As far as that pain goes, I get the same pain when introducing slightly more firm food.

I will, during my appointment on Wed, things were a bit rushed, I'm surprised the shots weren't mentioned. I've had them before. Unfortunately this wasn't on my mind at the time.

Not yet, and yes, I am anemic but I can't take the Iron for another 3 weeks. (I do get quite a bit in the Vitamins though). Like you said, I suspect things will improve by week 6. Otherwise, I'm doing fine.

Can't really eat yet. Still on 2 Protein Shakes and 1/4 cup of mushy Protein. 27 pounds down in 17 days. I should be able to eat more on May 1st.

I'm about 2.5 weeks out. When does this crushing fatigue let up? Getting plenty of Water and started Vitamins at postop visit this Wednesday.

I've had about 10 oz of Water and 2 partial shakes. The only pain I still have is occasional stomach cramping from drinking water.

Hey guys, I was sleeved on the 1st and came home today. I cannot stop crying. All I am thinking is what did I do!?! Anyone else feeling this way?

sometimes the anesthesia can make you very emotional for a few days.

Really sore and in a lot of pain. Can't seem to get my liquids down, including my pain meds! I pray this gets better and I don't end up regretting this decision.

I'm feeling the exact same way. Sleeved on the 1st. Home yesterday. Pain and nausea. I felt good in the hospital. Didn't sleep much last night because I felt so awful.

April 1st!
