I have read that after the surgery due to malnutrition you lose energy. I know that carrying the weight zaps your energy. I also have hypothyroid that takes my energy. I just want to know that you get energy back. Thanks for any feed back.

Absolutely! I could feel the energy come back fully after I started eating actual food, at about 4 weeks post op. The liquid stage sucks, not only becuz I starved but becuz I had very little energy. As the weight comes off, ull reap the benefits of more energy also.

I also take Levothyroxine for my thyroid. have for about 12 yrs. Haven't noticed a difference in that area since having wls.

Good luck!

I'm also hypothryoid. My energy level returned in less than a week post op!

I have been wondering about my energy levels. Pre surgery I was always exhausted. Always. I still feel tired but I think I do have more energy now at 6 weeks out. I feel like I can walk with more pep in my step. I still need naps and am not as active as I want to be but I'm hoping to keep building. Finally feel like maybe an upward spiral instead of a downward one!

Thank you all for the replies. You all have given me so much hope : ) I was looking forward to the surgery now it's ten times more ....
