Be sure to meet your Protein and Fluid amounts and take Vitamins. If you're on meds for your blood pressure - they may need adjusting too. You've been through major surgery - you'll be exhausted for a while.

It'll get better. My NUT said my lack of energy was totally normal. Everyone will feel different initially right after this surgery. Stay hydrated, rest and move about as you can so you don't develop blood clots. I didn't start feeling like myself until about 6 weeks.

I am also having low energy in my 3rd week post op. It seemed to coincide with starting on solid foods. (Dr said i could switch to solids at my 2 wk f/u visit) I don't think I'm getting enough Protein or liquids, as I am not able to eat enough and have to wait so long for the full feeling to subside before drinking again. I'm so exhausted I get winded from doing everyday things like making coffee in the morning. I know everybody is different, but it sounds like 6 weeks is the magic time. Looking forward to it!

      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! 😞
