Depends on your body and how you heal. Everyone if different. A week out I was pretty much back to normal energy wise. Make sure you are getting as close to your Protein and Fluid levels as possible, along with taking your Vitamins and supplements.< /p>

Congratulations on the surgery and speedy recovery!

I felt I turned a corner with energy at the end of week 5 and I was very good with getting Water and Protein in after the surgery, apart form the first 3 or 4 days. Week 6 was good and I felt back to normal.

@@retrieverguy i did remarkably well, best i can figure is i like Isopure clear (available at gnc) and was able to get over 60g of Protein a day from day 1. as you get more nutrients into your system you will feel better. Note you will also have some odd mood swings, seems all the fat cells hold a bunch of hormones and they tend to dump all at the same time...be careful watching chick flicks and sentimental movies, you may cry like a baby (not that i'm bitter or anything)

@@Angelwing99 - Isopure liquid (you can try at GNC) http://www.theisopurecompany.com/products/powders.html

Not to everyone's taste, but I like it. Some dilute with poweraid to get rid of slight slimy feeling in the mouth. 40g per bottle. So hydration and Protein in one bottle.

I was feeling horrible a week out. Realized it was because I was taking in absolutely no carbs.

I incorporated 50% diluted apple juice into my regimen and it saved my life.

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
