I had my op on may 1st. I feel the same way. the last two days I have taken four hour naps. Are you getting heartburn? I don't know if it a lack for protein? Are you writing down everything you eat? I need to start. God luck!

Thanks I needed to hear that because I was a little discouraged.

I felt the same way at first, your body is recuperating from the surgery. I took 5 weeks off work and when I went back I was exhausted after a few hours. It will get better.

I guess I am not alone here 3 months post op here and still lacking energy come 2 pm I am toast. When does this energy go back to normal anyone in the same boat.

3 months whew!!! I am only 2 weeks out I can't imagine another 10 weeks of this. I try to get enough sleep at night but I have to take naps. I understood the first few days because it was fresh maybe I am rushing. I might need to learn how to chill

I told the doctor the same thing he said not to worry and to take it slow. He also reminded me I just had major surgery. I'm almost 3 weeks post op. The problem I've been having is when I get up or bend over and stand up straight I get dizzy.

At a little over 2 months I feel a whole lot better and nearly normal. I still get tired though. I quit having to take naps 2-3 weeks ago but sometimes I sneak one in anyway. Now I can make it through the biggest part of the day without feeling exhausted but around 3 - 4 in the afternoon I'm tired.

Hang in there. The term "it will get better" probably sounds like a broken record but just like all the things your mother told you - it's true:)

Yea it does! I am just glad to know that it will get better. I keep reminding myself that I had part my stomach removed and 3 days in the hospital. Funny how you forget

I don't know that we forget, but I think real life intrudes. I had plotted out a month to recoup, but the child is going on a trip next week, MIL is sick of take-out and the special training I have been getting for the last 15 months is wrapping up, and if I want to be certified I need to be there.

And we won't talk about those who were in the gym and back to work in 5 days!

Maybe so because I want to just jump back in life

Issue.. Then I got the B-12 shot and "wow" what a difference!
