Hi everyone ! I was sleeved June 11th & seem to be doing pretty well except for some serious fatigue & weakness . I just barely got through my shower today without being completely drained ! Especially after using my arms above my head to wash my hair ! I had to get out & rest & catch my breath before I could even dry off ? Is this normal ? Does it eventually go away ? And how long does it usually take gain your strength back ?

I am 3 months post op and am struggling with my protein and liquid intake and therefore I am experiencing extreme weakness. I am force feeding and wanting nothing Am waiting for a return call from my doc.

Hi guys,it's me again! Question, I'm feeling very fatigue & weak, I sleep alot, my primary doctor said the reason for this I'm eating much, nor intaking enough protein. It's just I'm so tired. I want to take a walk, when I finish putting on my gear, I'm pooped!! Im coming off my weight real good, but there's always a but, my nutritionist said she need me to get so much protein in, because of the muscle in the body etc. I just need to know what can I do. I take b12injections also. Thanks guys

I was sleeved 6/7. I take a walk through a nature trail at a park near my house. I was huffing and puffing on the way back but it felt nice to finally have the energy to do it.

My surgery was three months ago, and I experienced extreme fatigue as well along with feeling very light headed when standing for more than a few minutes. I finally got my doctor to do blood work, and found out that my potassium was low. After about a week on a potassium supplement I felt dramatically better. It makes a lot of sense that with a high protein diet with very little fruit or vegetables we are not taking in the required amounts of potassium our bodies need.

Might be worth getting a blood test just to see. Best wishes to you. Hope you start feeling better quickly.

I was having that issue so I increased my iron. Helped me tremendously.
