This is going to sound like a complaint I'm sure, but I don't intend it to be. I'm grateful for the surgery, I needed it BUT, I feel tired and sick all the time!!!!! Surgery was 6/29 but every minute that i am awake I feel sick and lethargic. I have no energy and I have these weird uncomfortable feelings in my stomach whether I've eaten or not. My body feels foreign to me and I wasn't expecting that. I haven't had a bowl movement in 3 days, I can't sleep, it takes me 6 hours to drink 24 ounces of Water. I can't seem to get all of my Protein in no matter how hard I try and I almost avoid eating or drinking because I'm tired of feeling sick ALL the time. Anyone else going through this????

I haven't had my surgery yet...sorry you are feeling so bad...maybe need to talk to your doctor

No that's not my experience at all. You need to call your center. I had RNY on 6/27 and had surgery complications and a brutal first week post op. My recovery was rough but I feel great now and have zero nausea or pain. I'm able to drink my water and protein very easily. I just started puréed food a few days ago and having no problems. I wonder if you're low on iron?

I had an easy time of it so I don't have any advise really but I do agree you should talk to your doctor

I'm so sorry your feeling bad but I also was terribly sick the first 4 months or so nausea, tired, just plain old sick. My surgeon said some people it just happens to and it will get better. I didn't really believe it but eventually it did get better, but at 1.5 yrs out I still am very sensitive. But it's all good. The mental thing is still hard cause I want more food in my head but my tummy say ooohhh noooo!!! Lol I just take one day at a time. Good luck with your journey.
