Definitely normal. Your are recovering from major surgery PLUS you aren't eating much of anything. Those two put together = mega fatigue!

Just rest as much as you can - keep sipping and walking too - and know that things get much better!!

I am a week out too and know what you mean. 15 mins up and I have to sit again. Took about a 2 hr nap today. We just have to hang in.... It will get better!!!

Are you allowed to take Vitamins yet, like the optisource chewable ones and sublingual Vitamin B-12? You are still recovering from surgery, it takes a while to get your energy back, hopefully every day is better than the next one.

Yes, I took a nap everyday at lunch in my car for 3 weeks. I don't think I got my energy back until I was about 5-6 weeks post op. I feel really great now at 10-11 weeks post op.

My advice is to get the rest you need.

I'm glad to hear that I am not the only 1. 15 days post op as of today and I still get pretty tired. I'm borderline frustrated because I'm not able to really eat anything, and now I seem to keep a low grade headache... I hope that things do you get much better, on the upside of things I've already lost about 20 pounds so I guess at the end of the day it's a pretty fair trade off...

Noe that I think about it maybe this headache IS from not drinking enuff liquids. 64oz is a lot feel like I'd be sipping more than I eat. I hope I don't have to sip sip sip 4 the rest of my life. Not saying I'd gulp away but man this spping get annoying some times lol

      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!!

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

      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! 😞
