I'm right at 6 weeks post op, my question is..why am I extremely tired every time after I eat? Doesn't matter what I eat either, as soon as I'm basically done, I start getting real tired. Anyone else experience this?

Yes. I went thru that too. When I could, I took a short nap. Body is still healing and adjusting to this new lifestyle. Give it what it needs when you can.

Try eating less at each meal. Being overwhelmed by exhaustion can be a signal from your body that you ate too much. I know it sounds odd but it really can work that way -- give it a try and see if that helps? Good luck!

Sometimes, I find it exhausting just to eat a couple of ounces of food. the chewing, chewing, chewing, and more chewing......the conscious effort to eat slowly.

My daughter sometimes laughs at me when I finish a meal, I give a big sigh. She use to ask whats that about and I'd say I'm exhausted. lol

The thing is though, I don't eat much to begin with...

      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? 🤷‍♀️
