It just takes a while. It will pass when u start getting real food. I was sleeved on 10/23. I still have days I am fatigued. Our bodies are still adjusting. It was much better starting at about 6 weeks out.

Thanks, it sounds like it's just a normal part of the healing process and it helps to know it's not unique to me! I agree, figuring out the food can be so confusing and the nutritionist that works with my doctor has never contacted me so I'm going by a packet of information they gave me. So far only able to eat about a tablespoon of food at any one sitting. Good luck everyone and hope to share more soon with all of you :)

There is a huge improvement from week to week. Looking back at 6 weeks out - I can not believe how tired I was. It gets way better in a couple of weeks.

      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.
