I think that is totally normal. I was sleeved March 12 and I still get tired. It gets better everyday.....My doctor told me to rest when you get tired.....Are you getting all of your Vitamins?

Just know you are on your way!

Hang in there

I felt the same way at that stage. It took me about a month to finally get my energy back. Just keep trying to walk as much as you can. I promise it does get better. :)

The B12 should help. I am almost 53 and was sleeved on the 6th of March. Listen to your body. Rest when you need to.

Honestly my doctor. Gave me one of those inhale breathing. Pumps you know the one where u can place the little blue marker at maybe 1500 or 2200..but it gives your lungs air it builds it back up and your suppose to do it 10 times a day and it really does give u your breath back..and lessen the fatigue..try it love

      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!
