Hello Everyone,

I am post op day 10 and extremely tired after walking 2 miles today. Since my surgery I have been walking daily but only in the house or when going to the store which has been every other day. When I was walking it felt as if I can feel my internal organs, it is kind of weird. Has anyone else experience this same feeling? How long before I can walk without feeling extremely tired? Prior to surgery I was walking about 6 miles a day

Walking for 2 miles is good for 10 days post op. It's perfectly normal to feel tired afterwards. I think I needed a daily nap for at least the 1 month post op. As your body heals you will regain your strength. Right now just listen to your body and nap when needed.

Thank goodness We are exactly the same time of surgery do you mind if I asked how much weight you've lost so far but just from surgery until now

I've lost 20 lbs. in the last ten days and I'm truly freaking out I don't know if that is to fast I know everyone is different but I thought everyone loses 10-12lbs the first week SMH

It's not unusual to have a high initial weight loss when you start with a higher weight. At my 2 week f/u I had loss 26lbs. At my 6 week appointment I loss another 6lbs. It eventually slows down . Average weight loss is 5 -12 lbs a month for most VSGers.
