Today was my first day back at work. I can't believe how tired I am!

I thought I was doing pretty well, but goodness.

How long after your surgery did you notice your energy increase?

I never thought that I'd lost much energy. After wally world shopping on day 4 kicked my butt I went back the next day and finished up and went to Safeway. Day 4 was really my only weak day.

I'm still waiting. Seriously, it is hard to tell, because I keep pushing harder and harder. Mrs. LittleBill says I have lots more energy, but what does she know? I do know that for the first couple of weeks, I could barely drag myself off to bed. Things are better now, but I am still bushed at the end of the day.

I didn't start seeing a real improvement in energy/fatigue until I got back on solid food. So it was 5-6 weeks for me. It got a little better once I was on puree/soft foods, because I could get out of ketosis (I'm an odd duck and get VERY ill when I'm in ketosis) but getting back to my normal didn't happen until I was eating more regular food and my caloric intake started getting back up close to 1,000/day.

I wasn't back to normal for 3 months. I had VGS, Gallbladder removal and hiatal hernia repair. If you just has the VGS I'd expect at least 6 weeks before feeling normal energy.
