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.

      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'. ???

        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!
