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??

I'm 6 weeks post-op and have yet to experience the "surge" of energy everyone talks about. I'm bummed -- and tired!

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.

@@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.

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.

I'm 2 weeks out - not working yet and no children to chase around. I'm tired just thinking about your sit!

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.

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. ;)

      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?
