Recommended Posts

I have absolutely no energy.. But I am continuously told that exercise is important and so is muscle mass I'm so tired I can barely go up the stairs this is just now happening I had my surgery on the 12th and I was able to walk so much .. Now I'm so tired I just want to lay down. Is this normal? Will it get better?

It's totally normal. It will get better. Some days you'll just be more tired than others. I'm 9 wks out and I'm barely making it up the stairs sometimes. No way I could do anything other than walking and stretching. We're eating so much less. Do what you can and don't stress. ❤️

Thank you for the encouragement, it's much needed.????

I've been the same, and the clinic assured me it's normal after being on the liquid diet. They said that after eating "real" food for a week or so, I should be feeling a lot better.

You have had little to no Protein according to some of your other posts, so it makes sense you would be tired. Hoping your NUT has clarified that by now and as you add in protein and more foods, it should get better. Also be sure you are drinking enough. Dehydration can cause weakness and tiredness.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
