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 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.

      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... :(
