Energy After Vsg



Recommended Posts

I am working on just moving in general. I bursts of energy but then I get a bit lightheaded and slightly winded and need to sit a while then I get back up and do stuff and get in 30 min walk a day....It's hit or miss I think. I am 8 days post op

It's sounds like there will be better days ahead. I guess taking it easy in the beginning would be best?

My energy levels are directly tied to my caloric intake. I am 20 months out and I recently tried to eat like a post-op, 600 cals <30g carbs and I felt horrible, heart palpatations and could barely blink I was so exhausted. 1200 calories and I am bouncing along a 2 mile run, followed by and hour and 15 minutes of intense yoga, followed by an hour of tango, and I feel awesome!

I am 5 weeks out today and completely exhausted! This was my first week back to work though. I was incredibly shaky and faint earlier in the week, and realized it was because I was too low in calories, sugar, and carbs...been working at upping those and am starting to feel better, but I am so glad that it is Friday, and I can get some rest this weekend! Hoping this passes soon!

I hope it passes for you soon too, Nikki.

I had my surgery a week ago today and I haven't walked (outside) since Monday. I have ABSOLUTELY NO ENERGY.

I will initially be "walking my horse" for exercise, since he needs it too. I am on the countdown to being sleeved...

I had my surgery on January 23rd and I have my days where I'm absolutely exhausted and other days where I can swim laps for 45 minutes. I'm still rather low on energy. I think it has to do with my diet. I really don't get too many carbs in at all. I'm all about the Protein at the moment. I'm hoping my energy will increase...I want to start rollerblading and Spin classes.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
