So I had posted the other day that I was depressed. I still am having those down feelings but I think it's coming from extreme lack of energy. I take my Vitamins and drink plenty of Water. I called my doctors office and left a message. But all I have energy for is sleeping. Any one else felt like this?

I assume you are back to work by now, maybe your body is just trying to catch up with all the changes? No chance of pregnancy right??

Possibly low on Iron, etc. Let us know what your doctor says!! Hope you feel better soon and if you need to rest, do it. :)

You are most likely exhausted due to the low intake of calories. This is the time to rest as much as you can and make sure you get a lot of Protein in. Hang in there, it gets better. ;) You might also need a little more carbs in your diet.

I know how you feel. I had my surgery on 3/15 and am completely exhausted all the time. So much so that I feel foggy and lightheaded. I'm supposed to start full liquids today so I hope that helps. I'm definitely getting enough fluids in me so I don't know what's going on.

Just spoke with my doctors office. She said to up my calories. Especially since I am back at work (constantly on my feet) and going to gym 3 times a week with a trainer ( I did miss 2 sessions this week cause I was dead tired) I think I am going to up my calories a bit and do gym 2 times a week for a while and see how I feel.

Do you take B12? i get a shot once a month and it makes me feel wonderful! Maybe try that? most docs will just give you a shot in the office.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
