Absolutely! I felt the same for the first 6 weeks. It gets better day by day, today at 9 weeks I am feeling great. Make sure you are getting enough calories, it can make a big difference.

Yes yes yes I do! They are like aren't you supposed to be excersising and I'm like yes but I have NO energy. I hear this passes also still on liquids till 1 mth tue yay!!!!

Now that I am on solids, I am feeling much much better. Lots more energy etc. Just hang on and you will feel better soon!

As far as exercise is concerned, my dr and nut still will not release me until 2 weeks on solids, so I have another week to go! I couldnt have even thought about it when I felt so weak! Now I think I am just about ready!

I haven't been sleeved yet but I can speak on surgery. You will be tired for a while because your body is focusing all of its energy on healing itself. So it could take six week or longer before you are back up to speed. Just focus on getting better!

Yes, I'm tired!!! Supposed to go back to work tomorrow, I don't know how in the world I'm gonna push through that. I'm 2 weeks post op. It seems as though you have a good day and then 2 crappy ones. I talked with my chiropractor/naturepath last week and he suggested coming in for IV vitamin therapy every 4-6 weeks. I decided to give that a try. What can it hurt?

Oh that sounds great! I didn't know we could get iv vitamin therapy ... Does every chiropractor offer it?

Me too!

I was sleeved on 4th October and its the tiredness that is definitely holding me back now. It must be lack of calories as well as carb withdrawals I think ....but hard to bear and very limiting. I have great ideas of what I plan to get done each day but when it comes round I'm just so so tired- I can't shake it. When will it stop?

On IV vitimin therapy, I'm sure state laws very, and I'm not sure if all chiropractors can do it or not. I live in Idaho and my chiropractor is also a licensed naturepath. I would check with naturepaths and possibly osteopaths in your area.
