Just wondering how long after surgery did you start to feel "normal" again? Or, I guess, maybe the new normal that is your life post-surgery? When did your energy come back and you start to be fairly active again? ot necessarily running miles, but back to your activity level pre-surgery? Basically, when did you feel like YOU again?

And I can only drink protein shakes that already prepared

I am so thankful for this thread glad to hear I'm not the only one feeling like a turd!

I had RNY and a significant hernia repair on 4-21-15 so I am almost 7 weeks. I walked my first ever 5k a week ago and survived. I began to feel much more normal right around 6 weeks. I do still tire in the afternoon and a nice little nap would be great, but then again, it is the end of the school year, hot as Haiti here, the kids are wild, and any day would be exhausting. lol

Don't rush yourself. Give yourself time to heal and find your new normal. You are not the same as you were and will feel a bit different, if for no other reason than you are eating so differently.

Take care!
