#Speechless. Please read: I remember vividly waking up March 11th and being so nervous, questioning if I should go through the surgery... Dozens of fears about the unknown surfaced. I shook it off and told myself that I could do it! I carried two babies full term, so this was nothing! Now that I am 9 months out, I feel AMAZING! While I input my weigh-in for this week, I was blown away to read that I'm OVERWEIGHT and not OBESE! My BMI is almost at my target goal, I am 25LBS AWAY from my goal weight... I can just cry right now! I'm becoming a normal, healthy person and that is so valuable to me. The time I have invested in this for me has definitely been worth it! This is a good Christmas present to me from me! 124.7LBS down and I am NOT STOPPING!

Fellow sleevers , I am pleased to announce I have journeyed to onederland. Yaayyy. I weighed myself this morning, after not losing a pound for four days, and the scale said 199 lbs. I have not been 199 in probably 15 years. Starting weight at beginning of this journey in July was 242 lbs, surgery weight 219 lbs and weight today....A gorgeous 199 lbs. I am so blessed and thank God for this opportunity to regain good health and a full life. So ecxited????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

I am feeling very tired too. Surgery was Nov 9th.
I think it's catching up with reduced calories, not enough fluids, low carb and not a lot of real healthy nutrients (just protein). Also, it could be the winter weather and lack of sunshine.
I felt like I've been fortunate not feeling real tired for the first 5 weeks but now it's hitting me.
I think it's normal.
Try getting more fluids. Dehydration causes fatigue too.
Hang in there! You are not alone

Are you on any medication for reflux? Some surgeons give it to everyone post-op but I had to ask for it around week 4 or 5. It sounds like you are doing well with eating!
Feeling tired is normal, you are recovering from major surgery.

AC1987 reacted to favoredlife in 5 weeks post op December 22, 2016

I used to take omeprezole (Prilosec) daily. At my 4wks post op last week, the Dr told me I could stop the medicine & only take as needed. The last 2 days have been hell for heartburn & reflux. Started the medicine again today & feel so much better. (FYI - I struggle getting my liquids down too.)
