So I was sleeved on 8 th no complications so far and I'm pretty active but this happened three times once I was driving I felt like I will pass out , 3 days ago I was sitting on the couch and suddenly I felt like I have no energy and fell asleep for a few hours then the same thing happened today...

My first few weeks were filled with times like that where I would feel completely exhausted. Are you getting in enough protein right now?

you may need to make sure you're getting in the liquids... you may be dehydrated...

Yes make sure you watch your fluids and protein, both of those have a lot to do with energy!

Thanks I think I need to drink more Water I hate water but got some apple juice so I am diluting it in a lot of water for taste ...,

you can add crystal lite to water as well... if it will help get the fluids in... good luck to you!

ah ok...its probably the splenda that is messing with the tastebuds... anyway, push the fluids... are you taking your vitamins?

Try teas, too. Either decaf green/black/white or herbal teas are great. I drank nothing *but* water before surgery and now I can't stand it any more, but I love tea.

I also found 2 things that helped with liquids and Protein at first. Isopure, which is like Gatorade in glass bottles, got it at Vitamin Shop and GNC. Low calorie, no carb and protein! I also order Special K2O Protein Mix from Amazon, like crystal light only with protein, put some in a big glass of Water and sip all day long!

I know a lot of people say decaf on here but my surgeon said caffeine was fine so I have never used decaf, but as with most things every surgeon is different, so should probably check with yours to be sure. Also, I have found the MIO flavorings are pretty decent for water. I know that early on when I had problems with energy is was more related to Protein, make sure your getting enough protein, my Dr recommended a minimum of 60 grams per day.

You are less than two weeks out and are probably still on full liquids. Don't forget you've had major surgery and your body has gone through a trauma. Add on top of that that you are probably eating 1/6 the amount of calories per day that you were pre op. you're going to be tired.

I'm 10 weeks and there are still days where I need to take a nap in the afternoon. And it's not like 'oh I'm a bit tired, I'll nap for a few minutes' its 'oh, I'm tired as all hell, I'm going to go to bed for a couple (3 or 4) hours'!

Try to get in as much water and protein as you can. Water doesn't have to be plain water. Go for teas, vitamin waters, diluted juice. Anything you can get down. I drank hot tea for a few weeks because it just went down easier than anything else.

Give your body time to heal and adjust and in a few weeks you'll be feeling fine. Also exercising can help.

Hello I was sleeve on January 7th I was having the same feelings and went to the ER,I was dehydrated and was given IV fluids.I have times where I just feel exhausted.I started pushing more fluids still kind of tired of and on but I'm feeling much better.
