When Does The Fatigue Go Away?!



Recommended Posts

I was sleeved on 11/11/13. Some days are better than others but I stay soooooo tired and lethargic! Any one else?

It does get better!!! There were some days a few weeks out where I would get home from work and sleep until the next day. Finding you right balance with calories and Protein helps a ton! In the beginning, it's hard to get enough calories in during the day. My NUT increased my Protein count when I complained of exhaustion which helped.

Vitamin B also helps a ton! My NUT told me I need it once a week, but I can take it more often if I'm feeling tired.

Hang in there! It takes time, but your energy level will come back :-)

It will go away when your body does it...Take this time to really listen to your body and do accordingly..Everyone is different as far as recovery goes..

It will get better I promise..but it will be on your bodies time not yours...K

Right, and you will probably also find that you start feeling just fine and then you have a day that you totally need a nap. Our bodies react to surgery in all sorts of different fun ways.

It took me about five or six weeks to feel semi-normal in terms of my energy. The good news is that once the weight starts to come off you will have three times as much energy as you did before surgery. Take it easy and don't push yourself too much.

My energy came back slowly I had to up my Protein I do 100 to 120 a day. I am 12 weeks out and have more energy than I can remember. Just follow your nut. Directions as stated earlier as the weight comes off it gets better and better!

It took me 6 to 8 weeks to feel myself again. Just be patient and try to not overdo. Be kind to yourself during this healing period.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
