My tiredness and sleepiness subsided somewhere around week 3, though I went back to work on day 10. The key is to manage your energy and rest when you need to. Take care!

It does get better and it's much better when you get all your Protein in. Then there are days where you really do need to nap. I know I could use one today. Stressful day and it wore me out! But you do have to keep hydrated too.

Are you still taking pain meds? I know those made me tired.

Im 3 weeks post op tomorrow and im just exhausted all the time. I go for 40 minute slow walk in the morning and it kills me for the rest of the day. I go to lie down in the afternoon but that doesnt help much especially when all my kids jump on me. I am trying to get enough Protein in but it hard and im drinking well. I think my body is just working will the small amount of food that its getting that it has no energy to spare!!!

I hope some comes my way soon!!

It's so weird I had more then enough energy up to a few days ago and how when I sleep I have to be careful I'm actually tired or I can't sleep and my body feels really anxious I can't stop moving and just lay there and toss and turn, my head is so tired all the time but my body is not its the weirdest thing I have ever felt an I hate it.

Oh my gosh! I feel the same way! I've had extreme fatigue on and off. I'm on my third week post-op. I fell asleep in the dentists waiting room yesterday! I hate it. I feel like I can't get anything done. I'm hoping it will be over soon like everyone says.

I rested and slept during that first week and a half as much as I could. I find that when I get enough Protein in I feel better and have more energy. Also when I take my Vitamins I feel better also. To the person talking 40 minutes walks... Maybe break that up into two 20 min sessions. I am walking at a easy pace 1.5 mph for about 25 min. I feel better when I do walk. Good luck the energy will increase.

I figured out what's making me feel like I wanna crawl out of my skin and feel so jittery its a side effect to compazine an anti nauseous med I was given. I react the same way to reglan I've oh my josh I hate this feeling but at least I found the cause and hopefully will be out of my system in 24 hours.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
