I feel so run down & tired. I'm also still having trouble getting in my protein & liquids. I feel full all day & don't realize I'm hungry until my stomach starts feeling yucky. I need to find a happy medium ready to move into a happier phase.

If you find your energy, look for mine too! I'm 18 months post-op and down 150 lbs - still haven't had that mythical leap in energy levels so many people claim to have experience after losing weight.

It generally takes 6 to 8 weeks after surgery to feel the increase of energy. Drink your Water, eat your Protein and exercise. You will get your energy from the exercise so start moving and keep it up.

I pray the 6 to 8 weeks is right...I have no energy..My doctor started me on b12 shots also said hydrate as much as possible.Extended my leave 2 more weeks...I dont want to get out of bed ...Its a job

Had my surgery in April 2014 also and my energy is gone, I've started on B12 injections which seem to help but I don't know how long it will last . Good luck

I am almost four weeks out and in the same boat. I am doing cardio everyday and feel fine when I am exercising but the rest of the day I am exhausted. I am out for the summer from work( I teach) but am worried about making it through the day when I need to go back. I have to take a nap everyday and then can still sleep like 8 hours at night.

My first 2 months post op consisted of persistent sleepy eyes. Next week I'll be 4 months post of and it feels like it's starting again!
