I'm 4 weeks post sleeve and still have very little energy. Is this normal and how long should I expect it to last? I have 3 sons, the eldest of whom is severely disabled and needs 24/7 supervision and care. There's only so long I think my husband can juggle everything (!!) but I seem to have spurts of energy and then flake. My diet/nutrients are as advised. Any advice?

It seems like we're all having different experiences energy-wise! I'm now 5-6 weeks post op and still easily tired/worn out BUT compared to a week ago it is slightly better. I've decided I need to look at it like this else I'll get frustrated - small steps. Everything else has been very straightforward and no complications post-op so very thankful for that! Still find it challenging to get all the protein/fluids in- but start each day with a plan of action and then do my best!! Also pacing myself and my activities - not expecting to have the energy I had pre-op as it's not there yet. But - really looking forward to having tons more energy (due to my weight loss) in the future! Basically I'm more resigned to it than I was when I started this thread but seeing improvement. Like so many of you say - it does get better.

I was sleeved on 4/4 and yesterday was the first day I did anything other than watch tv. I loaded the dishwasher and made dinner for my kids, but then felt exhausted and went back to bed. THis morning I got up and went into the kitchen, thought I could tackle the mess, but then ended up back in bed. I know the energy will come, but my hope is that my energy is being used to heal my insides instead of being accessible for chores. This is one of the few times in my life that I have been able to take it easy and relax., and I plan on making the most of it!

I know we will all feel better soon!

4/4! You're still fresh! You get a "fetch this for me" and "I need a nap" card! It will get better but I felt the same at 4-5 days out.
