Hello. I'm a first time user to b this forum, but I would like any feedback I can get. I'm 5 weeks out from the sleeve surgery and I am experiencing extreme Fatigue. I noticed it off and on after 2 weeks, but over the last two days I feel like I can barely move. I get all my fluids in (64 Oz Water, 2 premier shakes a day) and I eat 2 Oz of eggs, tuna or fish 3 times a day. I'm averaging just 600 calories more or less a day. Oh yeah I forgot to mention I'm menopausal and the anxiety attacks are driving new crazy. Any feedback is greatly appreciated.

It's not unusual to be fatigued. Are you taking Vitamins? Are you on any meds for BP? If so - they may need to be adjusted. If you're in a hot climate - increase fluids - try something with electrolytes. Hormones are all out of whack right now - take care of yourself!

Yes I'm taking all my Vitamins. I'm in three DC area and we're suffering from a heat wave. I go back to work in 3 weeks, but I pretty much stay inside especially during the heat wave. I can take in more Water (big sips), and I guess I'll have to do that to get more than 8 glasses of Water in every day.

It takes a while to get over the extreme fatigue. It gets much better once you are able to increase your calories a bit. Just hang in there and keep following your surgeon's instructions. I still had it after 3 months and my doctor had me increase my carbs a little by adding banana and that helped a ton. Again, check with your doctor or nut.

The fatigue lasted a while for me, didn't start to feel normal until about a month and a half out.

Even if you're taking Vitamins, try to get a variety of soft fruits - like peaches, strawberries, blueberries, oranges and veggies - either shredded like cole slaw or cooked until soft...

My doc told me to up my Water from 64 oz to 90-110 oz because its so hot. Also to replenish electrolytes with a calorie/sugar free sports drink.

Any suggestions on the sugar free sports drink.

Powerade Zero, Vitamin Water Zero don't have any sugars.

I like Powerade zero. It got me through a recent stomach bug. Very mild taste.

I was exhausted for weeks after my surgery. I basically went to work and then came home and went to bed early and slept through the night to repeat the next day. Your body is healing from major surgery and doing so on severely reduced calories. It eventually wanes, but get all the rest you can in the meantime.

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
