Try getting in more fluids. I went through the same thing. I upped my Fluid and my skin started to improve.

Check the Protein you're trying to use too. I had such trouble with the shakes and it turned out that I was having trouble with the milk in everything. Once I cut out the milk, I was able to handle things a lot better.
But it's also possible your body just wasn't ready to move to full liquids yet. When my doctor approved me for puree recently, he said, "I'm okaying it, but your body might not, so take it slow."
Good luck!

It's funny I felt so great after surgery for 2 weeks I was doing so much and then it hit me how exhausted and stomach ache and tired I am now

Hi you need to drink Muscle Milk Light 100 calories but 20 grams of Protein and it's really really good I love the vanilla but that's what you need to drink so you're getting your Protein

Had sleeve and hernia at 67, no pain after 8 hours outpatient, then home. I wonder sometimes why others have a rough go. Seriously I drove in 2 days and mall shopped in 4 days. The fear was the worst part, it was pure relief to be sleeved and feeling great.

remember you just had a major surgery your body is thinking wth? and your taking in a lot less cals. i'm just over a week out i still get tired. i still have troubles getting Protein in. i can get my Water in now but not all that Protein i know it's important but take it slow and push yourself to do a little better each day. i don't think there's anyone who comes straight out of surgery and can get Water and protein in. ❤️best of luck

I am 4 days post feeling the same way. Exhausted and weak. I know it will get better. Drink your fluids because fatigue can be a symptom of dehydration. Hang in there. Everyone is different

Are you getting any Protein in? Think out that yogurt with some unsweetened almond milk and see if you can drink the protein rather than eat it. I find the ready-to-drink shakes are gross and hard to swallow, so I am using Syntrax Nectars (powder) made with either unsweetened almond milk or Water. Getting the fluids in is very important, so you don't get dehydrated, so keep sipping. Baby sips, all the time. It helps if you are sipping something with protein in it, but if you have to do water or diluted juice to get/keep the fluids down, that's a start! Don't worry, it'll get easier. Just keep trying.

I had my surgery about 3 weeks ago, and I was the same way. I felt so tired without any energy for about a 1 1/2. You will feel a lot better soon

Don't worry about eating- get fluids in and work on Protein in liquids.

I was on Water, CL, tea, broth for 5 days after surgery. Yogurt wasn't allowed. I was very weak and lighted until I started using the vitamin patches. That helped a lot. Didn't feel that much better until I was allowed the Protein Shakes.< /p>

I was so tired around that time, I would lift my arm to reach for something and it would be so sore and tired, the way your muscles are when you finish a good workout.

I had surgery on Monday and I haven't had much pain at all. I am so tired all of the time and I am taking about three naps a day. I am drinking and getting in Protein, but I just can't get my energy up. I figure each day should get a bit better and before I know it I will be up and around. Right now I am just enjoying my naps.

I was pretty weak 4 days out. I know I couldn't wash my hair the first week or so, my mom helped because my arms were so tired I just couldn't pick them up. It gets better. I'm 2 weeks out, was able to run errands for 3 hours yesterday then passed out. Everyone is just different.

My sleeve surgery was 8/30/16. I didn't have much pain but wow I was weak and tired for a solid 2-1/2 weeks. I slept so much I became dehydrated and had to be hospitalized. I didn't want food either. My PCP and surgeon said I just did not tolerate the general anesthesia well. At 3 weeks I finally felt like me again. It really frustrated me that I kept reading that many felt great at 5 days out. Know that your body has endured something big and trust it to heal itself. You WILL be ok. Give yourself time and don't compare yourself to anyone else. You can do this!

I am 4 days post op and I am weak and tired all the time. I read other post from folks that are 4 days out and it seem like they are doing leaps and bounds better than I am. I am repulsed by the thought of eating (who would have EVER thought that I could say that with a straight face) however I do well with fluids though.
When ever I eat I am ABSOLUTELY miserable. I ate 2 tablespoons of yogurt around 1200 and it is sitting in my stomach like a brick. I am so full and my well meaning family keeps trying to make sure that I eat...sigh. I just want to feel normal.

I have spoken to an aunt of a friend who was very helpful. She shared the good, bad and ugly of her experience and it cemented that this was the right decision for me. I am scheduled for September 27. God bless you and best wishes.

Hello Everyone!
I was approved today for my gastric sleeve. I decided to stop lurking quietly around the forums and hop on in. I was approved in 6 days, seems like everything is moving at warp speed now. My official date is September 27th. I am nervous and excited. Anything that you wish that you knew or did during you waiting period? I am open for some good advice from a pro.
