I am two weeks post op and for the most part I am doing really well! I feel good most of the time. I get full so fast and I am not hungry at all. I am not eating much at all. Probably not the amount I should be eating. I drink a Protein shake every morning but only half of it. About 1/4 cup cottage cheese for lunch and 1/4 cup of some (soup/ricotta bake) for dinner. Maybe Jello or a Popsicle every once in a while and Water in between.

I have started my walking too.

I have lost 39 lbs so far. 20 since surgery!! Okay here is the problem I am having I am so tried. It has just been the last couple of days. I want to sleep all of the time. Is this normal? Please help. Luckily I am off work for one more week.

Tomorrow will be two weeks for me and I was more this week than the first week after surgery!

I was exhausted for about 5 weeks after surgery. I can't believe that some sleevers go straight back to work! I slept on and off all day (in between walking and drinking fluids) and then all night for at least the first 3 weeks.

Everyone is different and some have energy soon after surgery but I didn't.

Listen to your body. If it's telling you to sleep then sleep!

Congratulations and speedy recovery

@@meganmom and @@ocgirl15 congrats!

I returned a week and a half after surgery. what is your water intake and calorie intake? are you meeting those requirements? if you are on BP meds you may want to check your BP. mine had dropped a lot after about 25lbs.

I'm only a little over a week after surgery (12/17) and I relate with what you're going through. Most of the time I feel very fatigued and dizzy. It's not good or fun.

My blood pressure is no doubt part of it - it has dropped a lot even since surgery and I am now off my med. I'm sure the low calorie intake has something to do with it as well... And then just the fact that surgery is a form of trauma which naturally requires recovery.

All in all, I'm not surprised that it takes a few weeks to get over the hump. Not fun in the meantime though.

I do not take blood pressure medicine. I am drinking maybe 24 oz of water a day. It is really hard to drink a lot. I just want my energy back so bad.

This is completely normal. I was exhausted the first four weeks and then it got better. Your body is adjusting to the dramatic changes. It can take up to 8 weeks.

Okay thank you all

Very normal, things for me changed last week at 7 weeks . Energy levels ect xx
