Sluggish 1 Month Out



Recommended Posts

I am one month out and feeling sluggish and tired. In the beginning I had tons of energy and now this slump. Has anyone else experienced this? I'm getting all my fluids and protein! Doing everything right. Exercising, Vitamins, you name it. Is this normal? When will I feel good again?

Do you take B12?

It is one of the recommended supplements and I believe has to do with energy.

Be sure to get regular. At one month, I bet you are just starting to struggle with this. Everyone works through regularity issues and blockage leads to extreme energy drain. Exercise, drinking lots of Water, and B12 supplements are also really helpful when dealing with energy issues. Finally, getting enough sleep will help.

I am taking my B12, I'm regular, and drinking plenty of fluids. I've heard some slivers experience this for awhile and then it gets better. I'm just wondering when the "better" part comes and how long this may last.

This is super normal. I'm 3 months out and still have sluggish days. At 1 month post op you're body is still using energy to heal. It gets better.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
