Just wanted to see if anyone had any advice... I am about 3 1/2 weeks post op and am extremely tired. I started back to work this week, working just 1/2 days. I go home and take a nap, I am in bed by 830 or 9pm and have been struggling to wake by 630 or 7. Is this normal or ? I am getting all my Vitamins, still struggling with Protein but that is getting better every day! Just a little frustrated today. I am feeling good otherwise, just don't have the energy to do anything this week!!!

I was exhausted for a long time. By week six you will probably feel more like yourself again.

I'm 3 weeks post op and I completely understand how you feel. Seems like I'm sleeping close to 12 hours a day between the night and naps. Trying to get my calories and Protein up but it's hard when you can only eat so much at once. Hoping each day gets a tiny bit better!!! <== She types as she nods off. :rolleyes:

I was too exhausted. However, since doing research and talking to people about Vitamins ect. I found out that majority of vitamins are only 8-10% absorbable. I started taking Zija Moringa in about month 4 or 5 post op and feel amazingly better. It's organic and 100% bioavalability (absorbed). If your on FB you can go to page of, Moringa's Ninety Nutrients for more info. I swear by it, it's the best of the best. There are two people that I know for sure started taking it from here and both feel the same way I do about it. I no longer have to take any vitamins or give myself B12 injections. Zija has every Vitamin from a-z.

Is it a liquid Vitamin or ?? I struggle with my Multivitamins... Having tried several with lots of nausea! Is this the only thing you have to take now?

I have to take my Vitamins five times a day. It's oh so fun. Didn't know there were other options!

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
