What can I do to help with my tiredness?



Recommended Posts

Haha, I wasn't worried about my Stamina! It only takes me about 3 mins of time anyway! LMAO!

Don't take this the wrong way but push through the tired. Go as far as you can today and go farther tomorrow. My motivation was sex. I wanted my wife bad but I was afraid of not being able to have any stamina. Day 5 afterwards and I was ready for slow and easy. By day 9 we were like teenagers.

I seem to be so tired here lately. Any recommendations on what I can do to help that? Sleeve 9/12/16

I'm in the same boat. Band to sleeve conversion 9/12 and I am dragging! Even taking a shower and raising my arms to wash my hair is exhausting. I'm going to start B12 injections to see if this helps any.

Ugh! I remember that phase. I would get winded just washing my hair and had no energy left to fix it. Went to work some days looking like death! It passed pretty quickly for me, though. Just work on meeting your Water and Protein goals and soon you will be stronger!

Thanks. I hope it passes quickly for me as well.

Thanks!

No offense to anyone here but I'm not the kind of person who can just relax and heal. I'm the kind of guy who will seriously over do things if left to myself. For me I just need to push myself. Obviously my motivation was to enjoy my beautiful wife. She is a strong motivator!

Update in case it helps anyone - surgery 9/15, went back to work Tuesday the 27th. Kicked my @$$ (I have a desk job). Did my half day, half day Wednesday, and am now working from home in my bed.

I should've taken the remainder of this week off, I highly suggest at least 2 weeks off. I'm a workaholic, but just couldn't hang.

This is a good opportunity to practice pushing yourself to rest and take it easy.

I've never been "that guy". I've had one sick day in my entire working career. I don't go to work sick. I just find that if I'm not feeling well relaxing doesn't do me any good. Doing anything is soooooo much better for me. Honestly if it wasn't for the fact that I had family here after my surgery I probably would have grabbed my air tools and used my engine hoist for lifting the front fenders and hood off of one of my trucks off to tear down the top of the engine. I just don't have an off switch...

You sound eerily like my last boss. Unfortunately, he died prematurely at 48 years old. I HIGHLY recommend you consider learning how to rest and relax. Especially when you are ill.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
