I'm a little over a month out from my surgery day. I started out the week after surgery walking 15-20 min, went to 40 the next, and have been walking an hour each day this week. The actual walking part isn't much of an issue other than blisters on my feet.

During the normal day this week though I've been exhausted. It's summer break for me as a teacher, so I can sleep if I'm tired, but this has been a pretty abrupt change from how I've felt the last two weeks. I know its still close to surgery date, my body is still adjusting etc.

Has anyone else experienced this?

Yes, I was really shattered for the first month and a half after surgery. The anesthetic just makes me feel so tired (I've had this with plenty of other ops too). Just take it easy and enjoy your summer break. You should be fine by the time your break's over.

I was pretty tired for about the first 6 weeks. I walked about 30 minutes per day so if you are walking 1 hour per day I can see why you are getting tired!

Maybe you can reduce the number of days you are walking? You may also need to increase your Protein.< /p>

Take care and KUP

      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!!

      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! 😞
