Yes this happens to me . Are you getting enough Protein in how about Water and just plane food are you getting enough.

I was like this for about 3-4 weeks and every now and then I still run out of energy

Have you tried any of the whey Proteins or if you don't like them there is a egg Protein Powder you can get. I have never tryed it I stick with

carnation instant Breakfast no sugar added its 150 calories with 8 oz of skim milk has 8 carbs and 26 g of protein. I like the taste that's just my opinion.

A lot of people on this Fourm use powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury protein powder unflavored. I have never tryed it

Good luck

I am 2 weeks out as well and feel completely drained.I have no energy. I thought the first week was just because I was still on Clear liquids no Protein, no vitaments. This past monday i started puree's and Protein supplements. First i thoughtit was not getting enough fluids and kicked those up. Im getting apprx 50 grams of protein. Its a full time job calculation and keeping tract of how much I have had to drink and my protein.

My goal today is to focus on the fluids and add protein to what i can.

I use the unjury brand and the opurity Vit's and did not have any trouble with the taste pre or post op.

As a side - My daughter (26 yo) asked me to make her a holloween outfit ..... since im home not doing anything. All I could do is smile and grit my teeth.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
