Are you taking any vitamin supplements? Try taking a B vitamin and see if that helps. Everyone recovers from surgery differently.

I did just eat so refried beans and feel a little more energy. But I am so sick of the protein shakes ..I have to find another way to get more protein

It will get better. I had gastric bypass on July 22, and for the first two weeks I had no energy for nothing. I'm three weeks out and it's a lot better. Right after surgery, I took naps every day. Now, If I feel really tired, I take a short nap. Just hang in there!

Thanks guys for the advise..

It took three weeks for energy to start to return. I have never been so tired in my life.

I'm 10 days out and too tired to do much. I walk from the couch to the kitchen and have to pause to catch my breath or gain energy to go back. I do find some days are better than others. I also started driving my teen to school this week and the walk to the car is fine. Yet from the car, up a flight of stairs to my apartment is so draining that I am literally panting by the time I get to the door. Pain and soreness is still there but are getting much more tolerable. Overall I think it gets better each day. I start on a multivitamin next Tuesday when I start my 3rd week so I hope to see some improvements. Hope you feel better Niki.

Yesterday was a good day I was able to sit and was dishes and felt more like normal in the mornings os when I feel real week but feel better by lunch and after I get some scrambeled egg in me .

I thought I was the only person that felt weak. I live up 3 flights of stairs and I am literally out of breath once I make it to my door. And I'm not in the mood to do anything. AND I'M HUNGRY!

I felt like a zombie for 3 weeks, I it was a huge improvement after that....it will get better!

If you read throughout this or any bariactric message board you will that is normal. You will have many others too.

Ok just wondering I did read just did not remember it being this early

Niki I am losing 1lb about every 2-3 days. It's slow but I'd rather have it that way. Gives our body time to adjust and hopefully have less loose skin.
