Hello guys! I tried to do a very basic exercise video to tone my inner thighs (it was about 10 minutes) and it damn near killed me. I had the sleeve about a month and a half ago and I feel like someone has sucked the life source out of me. I felt dizzy and needed to rest after. At my heaviest, I could workout harder than this. Is this normal? My cousin who was sleeved was RUNNING after her surgery. I am afraid to even try it again. Anyone else experience this?

Maybe you're not eating enough Protein before your workout. I was having dizzy spells and it was because I wasn't eating enough and possibly dehydrated.

How active were you before surgery? I was doing Water aerobics 3 times a well pre-op. I resumed on week 3 and I can do the entire 1 hour class no problem.

I had to same problem. I do my workout 5 in the morning. Its too early for me to eat so I just drink my Protein Shake. But I will have kind of fruit (usually a banana),milk and either yogurt or Peanut Butter for more Protein. Once I started this, I was fine. My NUT told me it was my sugar levels. I needed eat something.

I wasn't very active before the surgery. But I was able to walk 3.25 miles and I was 40 lbs heavier than I am now. I think my nutrition may be the problem.

Yes it's probably nutritional. I was so weak and exhausted until about 2 months out. Now I'm a little under 3 months and have tons of energy and can eat whatever... Just give it time. ????

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      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.
