Post op fatigue after 2 months



Recommended Posts

I am 52, my sleeve was in August. I had no complications. I am still feeling very tired even though I take all my Vitamins. Yesterday I laid down for a bit at 3 pm and I did not wake up until 12 hours later :( I did not even wake up during that time. I am not new to fatigue as I had my thyroid removed last summer for cancer, but this is just ridiculous. I had more energy when I weighed 50 lbs more was raising a toddler and working full time . Yes, I was younger, but at 52 I should not be feeling like this. I recently saw my endo and she said my blood work looked good. I also make sure I am taking in the Protein and I drink plenty of Water. I am not sure what is going on. I would think that after 8 weeks I would have more energy.

i struggled with fatigue through month 3. and as counterintuitive as it sounds, what seems to have finally gotten me through is to literally just power through and amp up your exercise even when you feel too tired to exercise, do it anyway.

I'm no stranger to being fatigued, I have Fibro & Lymes disease.. Has your doctor(s) done any other kind of test.. Like what were the blood test looking for? Are you having any other symptoms? Foggy headed or achy? *shrugs* could be something totally unrelated to the wls.. G'luck!

I see my endo every 3 months and get blood work done to check thyroid hormone levels and she also checked B 12 and Vitamin d. She said all looked good. I have not felt normal since having my thyroid taken out last summer though.

Are you on any blood pressure meds. I had a similar issue about one month after surgery and it was because o was on blood pressure meds still and my blood pressure was too low. Once I stopped the meds my blood pressure went up and I was less fatigued.

      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!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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
