Are you tired and withdrawn after surgery?

I feel so tired and withdrawn. Are you? I had the gastric sleeve on 3-13-13. Since surgery I have lost 30 pounds. Is there anyone else that has had the sleeve?

I had RNY 2-7-13. I was tired a lot the first four weeks, but it's rebounding now. I feel good, mostly.

For almost 3 weeks after surgery my legs flt so weak like they wouldn't carry me. I slept all the time I felt good but no energy at all

Right after surgery I would get extremely tired. I was about 3 months out when I could get all my protein in. Hold down more foods and get my water in.... And started to feel "normal" again :-D now almost 11 months out I have more energy then ever :-)

You lost 30 lbs or ready. Congratz. I'm undecided between the sleeve and the by pass. If you don't mind me asking what made you go with the sleeve. I haven't met or spoke with anyone who got the sleeve.

My new journey 2013<br />

I had the bypass cause there's more long term research and history then there is with the sleeve is newer so it doesn't have all the long term research and data I think it has personally to the amount of weight you have to lose I weighed 369 at my first appointment with my surgeon day of surgery 343 I did more the a month pre op liquid diet my dr required me to do 4 but I chose to do more I did my food funeral as everyone calls it and then said if I was doing this there's no reason to wait till my surgery I saw my dr first time in Early Nov he schedule me for Feb 21 then I got moved up a week so the 14

Also as far as tired and withdrawn I personally think it depends on you and how you go into these just think you given a tool to get a new release on life use it but don't abuse it just think good thoughts keep yourself in an open peaceful frame of mind don't dread the protein shakes there a part of your life forever to help keep you healthy there's so many you can find one you like and just take it one day at a time don't let anyone get you down or make you think you've taken the easy way out if they haven't been through this they really don't know how much work it is its only hard if you make it that way I know I had problems after surgery with my heart and its still not wright but my surgery is fine and I can't exercise yet as I should be doing because of it but still doing all that I can. Everytime I would walk in the hospital codes would set off cause my heart monitor they would tell nurses to get me back in bed I told them I would when I finished my walk as my drs (2) had told me to do cause my heart rate went so high case I went into A-fib day after surgery so just keep happy positive thoughts and remember that the outcome is going to be a new Sexy you and we can't wait to unveil our selfs
