Post Op Energy Levels



Recommended Posts

I'm a little over 4 months post op and I'm still tired. Where is my burst of energy? I chew my Vitamins daily, I'm getting my Protein in and I can't stay out of the bed. All I want to do is sleep. I thought by now I would be working out more on the go more enjoying more. I have no motivation to get up... I just wanna sleep!

Is anyone else out there going through this?

I am just over 2 months post op and I'm still tired a lot too. I do notice some more energy during the day I guess but I go to bed so early and sleep like 10-12 hours! Not sure if that's normal or not. All my Vitamin levels are fine- just had labs last week.

I am 2 months post op as well. I am glad to see that others are tired as well. I am getting my Vitamins and most of my Protein as well. I am guessing its just part of the process.

I am 4 months post op and tired most of the time too. Getting up at 4:30 a.m. has a lot to do with me being tired though. Once in a while I feel energetic, but not very often.

I had a burst of energy a month after surgery ( May 2,2013) and now not at all!!

Got my labs back and found out my Iron was very low. Started taking iron ( even though my multi has 19 mg) with a Vit C twice daily 2 days ago so we will see when this will kick in.

I'm 4 months out. 91 pounds lighter. Don't get enough Protein only about 50g daily. Vitamin d an Iron really low. And I don't have energy. I'm tire all the time. I don't exercise bc I don't have the energy. What in the world is going on. I'm at a stall in wt loss too. I've been 90 pounds lost for a month now.

Glad I found the Sleepy Group because I sure fit in. 2+ months out and I could hug a bear during winter time and catch some zzzZzzzzz snuggled next to him. Yeah ... That energy burst must have passed me by 50 light years at ludicrous speed.

I have wondered myself if it was just me. I have good days where I feel awesome and can get things done and moving like normal at work up and down the hall with patients and then days where I can barely get off the couch. My sleep is sporadic and I struggle with insomnia. I keep waiting for that energy too. Thought losing weight would help that along. I struggle sometimes getting work and home all done.

      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'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        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!
