You will be tired for a little while.. your body just went through major surgery. As well as you aren't eating as much as you used to so your energy levels are done. Just make sure you are taking your Vitamins and trying to get your Protein in. It took me a few weeks to feel normal again, I am 3 months out and I still have days where I am drained. It will get better.

Yes, I agree with Kasey. It took me a while too. I just hit the five month mark and I notice I don't have the stamina I use to for travel. If you can drink them, G2 (low calorie/low sugar) drinks help. I know I would have them periodically bit I only could do about 8 OZ at a time and I diluted them a bit with Water. Propel and Vitiamin water zero help with electrolytes. I think I started to really feel normal at about the month mark.

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

      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! 😞
