Today was the first day since I had my surgery that I woke up feeling exhausted. I pulled myself together went to church and then we went to Wal-mart.. it feels like I've been on my job for 16 hrs..All I can do is just sit here..Thanks to my wonderful hubby for preparing dinner.

i see you had surgery 6/18/13 - less than a week ago

11 lbs down - wonderful

congrats

being tired is common for many newbie sleevers right after WLS

you should rest, give yourself a break, and let DH continue to spoil you!!!!

we see to forget sometimes that we just had major surgery

your tummy was cut up - and 85% was thrown out with the garbage - thats where it belongs

maybe you should/could hold off on church and walmart et al til you get some energy back

don't overdue

hope you recovery moves along well

good luck

Thanks Kathy...Nurses are the worst patients...slowing down promise..

Argh! Energy comes and goes. Most of this week I have felt like superwoman and then yesterday I crashed and had to take a nap - I NEVER take naps! (naps are for toddlers). I am 12 weeks out. So cut yourself some slack and like Kathy says, don't overdo.

Hey,

I am a nurse as well. Please be careful to not over do it - even if you feel great in the morning. I was sleeved on 6/12/13 and felt good at the end of week one - so I went out for some errands with my mom. Bad decision! :/ I have had to get IV fluids twice since then for dehydration. First I slept too much recovering and got behind. Yesterday I had a strange day of nausea and weakness - no home treatments working and couldn't get anything in. Spent the evening in the ER last night - lol. Always nice for a nurse to explain how she can't physically be a compliant patient. I had no nausea this whole time until yesterday. Took zofran and regland to get it controlled. Phenergan knocks me out for 2 days and I need to stay up to drink. Lol! I thought after everything, I would be the one walking 30 min a day first day home. At this time, I am reduced to laps around my downstairs and pacing in my bedroom. Today I feel like a new person - but terrified of a replay of yesterday. Considering asking for an order for PT to get me going - I was 100% physically normal before surgery and am 32 yo. Also considering asking for 3 days of some bid LR infusions at home. Makes me sound wimpy - but never expected a recovery like this. From one nurse to another - take it easy and know you are not alone in feeling exhausted.

Thanks ladies..
