I am almost 4 weeks post and have NO energy either. I was wondering if it was normal too.

I have this same problem. I just had a doctor's appointment last week and he said I have no energy because I'm not eating/getting in enough calories. He told me to up my calories to at least 800 a day, which is really hard at this point. By the way, I'm 5 weeks out.

Hope this helps.

Iron could be low? Your first lot of labs will tell the story :)

I agree with labs.

My energy levels fluctuate a lot as well and I'm at 3 months. I've noticed that sugar messes with my energy. I can have a lousy day if I have just a smidge too much juice.

Just a thought

Sometimes I use half a 5 hour energy and it does the trick for several hours. I was sleeved on 12/26. I also find that I have higher energy when I walk on my treadmill. I did try samples of ripped freak, and it gave me enough energy to walk for an hour versus a half hour.

I have more energy than I could imagine - I take my B12 and than ill drink half of a 5 hour energy. I'm awake for hours and hours.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
