November 3, 20169 yr Starting my second week post op and I am so much more tired than last week. Not having any trouble drinking clears or getting 2 Protein shakes/day but my butt is worn out. Maybe too much excitement last week and this week it's catching up to me?? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

November 3, 20169 yr Just curious, are you on any BP meds? I was on them after surgery and I was told by everyone that I looked like the walking dead. When I talked to my surgeon, he said that I should immediately stop taking them as well as my metformin (blood sugar). Literally the next day I felt like a new man. Of course, if you are not on BP meds it could be something as simple as dehydration and you will need an IV bag of fluid to get you right. Then it will be a matter of keeping up your fluid intake no matter how hard it is.
November 3, 20169 yr Author No BP meds here. I don't think I am dehydrated but will up the fluids.

November 3, 20169 yr @@ppressey24, oh no! Yours sounds much more severe than mine if you are heading to the ER! Good luck!@@BigViffer, I am on BP meds but had them checked last week with my PCP and BP was perfect. Dr. said keep on with them until December's follow-up and we will see about lowering/removing the rx, so IDK.I have been hitting all my Protein and Water targets right along; no food issues to speak of. IDK. Modern life working 7x a week split shifts with two toddlers? LOL. IDK. I'm beat.
November 3, 20169 yr I was exhausted for about the first month and a half post-op. I don't remember super well at what point my energy level started to go up, but it's definitely a thing. Seven months out I'm sleeping better, exercising regularly, getting way more done every day, waking up earlier.

November 3, 20169 yr It was over 2 months before I had any energy whatsoever. I really struggled with fatigue. Heather I - do you have a way to check your blood pressure on your own? If so, check it daily. I was shocked at how quickly it suddenly dropped about a month post-op - to the point where I had some very scary episodes where I nearly passed out in the shower and at work.
November 3, 20169 yr Hey, your body is still trying to move that huge mass around on a fifth of the fuel. And because it senses you are starving.....it's trying to conserve energy.....hence ......tired. Once things become a little more routine and balance out and you lighten the load some.......things will pick up.

November 3, 20169 yr I felt fatigue for the first couple of months. Took naps and rested and energy came back. I feel great at 4.5 mths.
