As long as you are getting all your Water and Protein in there is nothing else you can do. Every person is going to give you a different answer as to when they felt "normal" again but I can tell you that even at almost 6 weeks out I rest a little every afternoon. We are recovering from major surgery.

It was about six weeks post-op before my fatigue started to get better. And even now (week 11 post-op), I still get tired very suddenly sometimes.

Have you started taking any B12 and if not try that. Also, my Dr prescribed the nasal B12 which you only take once a week. Ask you doctor about that too, and if he has a coupon for it.

I paid $25 for a 4 week supply, and I don't think that's too much, ESP since they seem to keep me ALERT and not sleepy like I used to be.

Yes, I'm feeling amazing and then I crash and crave a nap. The B-12 honestly did help quite a bit. Good luck on your journey!!!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
