I have lots of fatigue and I am wondering if any of you noticed your energy levels dropping during the pre-op and then I am hoping that energy increases after surgery.

I was banded on Thursday and I am exhausted! I'm having a hard time getting my protein shakes down so I think the energy level is just related to no/low calorie intake.

I'm hoping to feel much more energetic in a week to ten days.

Thanks for responding to me. I am hoping it is the low calorie intake. I am having a lot of diarrhea and that doesn't help. Other than low energy, how are you doing? Are you having a lot of pain? Do you have any nausea?

Well I hope you are doing well. I will follow up on you at 10 days and see if you are having more energy.

I have fibromyalgia and I know from past surgeries that the anethesia causes me to be fatigued too. So it may be a while before I feel like dancing, but I know this will be worth it.

Where are you from? I am in Illinois.

Take care,

Viola

I was wondering if your energy levels have picked up now that are further out from surgery. I am 5 days post op and I still have very little energy

I have a lot of energy now. No daily naps like the week after surgery. I have no hunger though so I'm not feeling like I'm not eating much.

I am 4 days post op and at times I feel like I have a little energy other times I have none, some of may have to do with boredom. But really I think it is the fact I am getting less than 200 cal/ day. Tomorrow I am going to try a protein shake and hope that gives me more energy. I go back to work on Monday and am hoping I can make it through the day.

I was really tired about 2 days preop and for about 7-9 post op. It does gradually lessen every day. Best decision I ever made. I would do it over again in a second. I had lapband done at the end of August and feel great.

Of course! Cause you aren't eating. i was fine about 4-5 days post op. Back to my normal schedule.

pre op and post op i felt low energy, sleepy, faint cuz i didnt get enuf protein cuz i hated the shakes so much. so it was my own fault

For some, like me, the post-op fatigue lasts for months. I think most bandsters start getting their energy back in a week or two. You learn to pace yourself. Congrats to all the newly banded and I wish you the best in your weightloss journey.
