I also experienced it! But then I needed a lot of naps during the day... I’m 6 weeks out and that doesn’t really happen anymore.

Insomnia is super common after surgery. Lot of posts about it:) It eventually goes away.

Awesome Job @RichMack!!

I had surgery 7/10, today was one of the first days I had real, sustained energy. Cleaned the house, purged the kids toys, etc. It takes time

Completely normal. Your body is healing, and also learning how to run off fat stores. I go through this still at times. Usually when I notice I'm dropping substantial weight again, I start becoming very tired.

1 Month post op = down 49 lbs, 6 inches in waist, no more diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol. No more CPAP. These 2 photos are exactly 1 month apart.

I know in some respects I have it easier than some, because I was only obese, not morbidly. However I promise this one thing is true no matter which category you're in. You will get out of it way more than it asks to be put in since the tool of Gastric Bypass is really doing the majority of the heavy lifting. All it asks of me in return is a little walking each day, the occasional bike ride and I park out in the boondocks when I visit Walmart forcing me to walk a little extra distance. The real change will take place in a couple months once I'm allowed into the gym. I used to be quite ripped, and hope to be able to get a small portion of that ripeness back. Best of luck on your journey I have confidence that you will see great progress yourself.

My point of view as a man and a husband. He is insecure. He fears that if you lose the weight you will become more marketable to other men. Thats on him. DONT! jeopardize your life and health for a person thats only thinking of himself. I go in for my bypass April 5th of this year, after years of YoYo diets. Starvation diets. 10's of thousands of dollars on supplements. High BP, cholesterol, diabetes, reflux,and sever abstructive sleep apnea. My wife fully supports my decision. She also knows just how attractive I am capable of being at a healthy weight and never once has she allowed paranoia get in the way of her support for me. You need to do this for yourself, for all those reasons listed above, chances are he's bluffing anyways and relying on you caving in. I'll never understand these sorts of reactions from men. So selfish.

Well it's that time folks. This time tomorrow I will be in the losers club.

That is a very good sign. Your body is feeding off its fat reserves. Unfortunately this isnt going to occur uniformly at once, but eventually it will even out as fat stores in one area are depleted your body will draw energy from another.
