Sluggish, tired, no energy:(



Recommended Posts

3 weeks post op today and I feel so tired all the time! When do you start to feel the energy again! I can't hardly clean my kitchen without having to take a break before I finish!!

I thought I would be so much further along by now!!

I felt that way for a month. It does get better and you will definitely have a lot more energy.

It took me almost 7-8 weeks to feel normal again. I'm 11 weeks out and I have more energy than I know what to do with now.

So glad to hear this!! I went back to work last weekend and I only work 2 days a week and I had to leave early both days bc I was so give out and my left side hurt really bad!! Lucky I still have personal leave at work until 9/5/13, so leaving early is still covered!!!

Once you heal, the energy is unreal. I scare myself sometimes at how clean my house is! I get home and clean all night. I don't sit down until about 8pm. It's great. And my yard is weed free.. haha..

SO just enjoy this healing time, get in tune with your body....:)

So I'm a week post op. And I only leave bed to go to kitchen or Walmart for supplies. Glad to hear its not only me. How are u all with getting Protein in?

I'm having a hard time getting all my protein in, the Protein Shakes make me sick and nauseated! The puréed stage I'm on makes me gag when I see the food mixed up and chopped in the food processor!! My nut told me to just stick with the foods that work for now and do the best I could!!

No that's not part of my Vitamin regimen!! Would B12 help with this? I've taking it in the past' date=' maybe a few yrs ago!!!

That should be required for ever! It really does help. I have been very tired lately since I slacked off my B12.

My surgery was 8/13/13. I feel exactly the same way. No pain or vomiting, but extremely listless. I am trying to eat. Nothing taste good. My dr told me I would probably never reach 64 oz of liquids as I started out a little smaller than some,

but I get as much as possible. I'm normally energetic so this is very discouraging.

I'm having a hard time also. Did greek yogurt and I can do one Atkins shake a day anymore than that and I'm hurting and feeling stuffed.

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
