Sleeved June 10, and am down 42 pounds. I don't feel different (aside from pants feeling big) or think I look any different.

June folks, has anyone encountered pretty intense fatigue since surgery?

Hope everyone is well!

I was VERY exhausted last week and was sleeved 6/17. Wasn't sure what it was, but seem to be back to normal this week. Last week I felt like I was dragging!

I am exhausted and I force myself to do everything I did before. I need naps often.

Isn't it funny how we all are different. I can sleep with no problems and have been since coming out of the hospital. If I don't get 9hrs I'm crap for the day! I hope everyone who is having trouble sleeping gets over it soon

Doing well thanks I too have a lot of weight to lose, that pre op diet was rough but I didn't cheat either. What kind of diet are you on now?

Hi. I am trying to do a low carb, high Protein diet, sort of like Atkins. I try to stay under 35 carbs a day, of course sometimes I go a little higher, but 35 seems to be a good fit for me. I am also getting all my Protein from actual food, no Protein shakes, bars or powders. This is just my personal preference. My calories a day range from 800 to 1100, which at first I was freaking out about, cause I thought it was way too much compared to others, but my nutritionist said that was ok, cause I am eating a lot of protein. I only eat 3-3.5 oz per meal and about 1.5-2 oz for my Snacks. My surgeon recommended eating 3 meals a day and 2-3 Snacks per day, eating every 2-3 hours...I think this helps eliminate the urge to graze.

What type of diet have you been following...I see so many different paths people take on here, I guess everyone has to find the right fit for them.

If you use myfitnesspal you can look up my food diary and add me as a friend...anyone else reading this post is welcome to add me as well. My username is blackcloudkygirl.

I was sleeve 6/03 and also experience fatigue. My Nut told me to increase my Protein to 100-120 gms of Protein since I'm 6'0". It's been difficult for me to get in the extra cause sometimes I fall asleep by 7.

Yes. My nut said to take the B-Complex with B-12 so that knocks out two in one and one less thing you have to worry about! Plus it has a little more B-12 than we need and it does give you a boost!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
