I have turned into sleeping beauty...



Recommended Posts

I have hit three weeks out on Thursday and all I do is sleep. Any days I get 9,000 steps plus I either need a long nap that day or sleep the next day way too much, miss my fluids and meals because I'm like coma sleeping. How long does the fatigue last?

I am not sure how it is for everyone but I still 6 months out could take a nap everyday. But for me the extreme tiredness went away at about 6 weeks.

There were times I'd fall asleep with my Water cup in my hands. Sitting straight up.

I don't remember being overly fatigued I had gastric bypass 2-6 back to work ful l-time 2-27. I slept and rested for the full 2 wks that was a gift I gave myself. So now I am 8wks out feeling good. Hang in there.

I had the same issues with fatigue, especially around the 3-5 week postop mark. Lethargic as hell, and what would normally be a 30 min nap slipped into 2-3 hour naps.

I would say by about 8 weeks I was at a more stable energy level. I still have moments of sluggishness, but not quite so extreme and I can usually just bully through them.

I'm 4 weeks out and exhausted as hell. Just simple tasks like taking a shower wears me out. I sleep all the time. I can't wait to get my energy back because it's seriously keeping me from working out. Even a 10 minute walk around Target wears me out.

I never had that issue, but for me to sleep during the day means that I am sick. Hopefully it will pass for you soon.

I was like that until 5 weeks post op. Went into a coma for 10 hours at night and an hour or 2 nap in the afternoon.

Two thoughts:
1. If you are still taking pain killers they can definitely impact your energy.
2. Are you meeting your calorie goals? If you aren't eating enough you will be tired. It's not ok to eat less than you are prescribed. My nutritionist yelled at me when I went below my calorie count for a few days to "challenge myself". I won't do that again. :)

      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?

      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
