I'm wondering how many of you just felt weak, I would think after three weeks I'd begin to feel like my old self at some time in the near future. Anyone else having this problem? I don't have pain but I have no appetite or anything, and I am always tired. Is this normal?

Seems half the people feel they can walk miles, other half have no energy for a couple of months. I was one that had no energy until week 6. The most important thing to remember is to get in your Protein, Water and Vitamins. You will start to feel better soon.

I was in the no energy group at times. The first two weeks I has a ton of energy the 3rd week I had none, then at about 5 weeks I had a ton of energy again, and for the past month I have been completely exhausted. It seems to come in waves for me.

I was very fatigued for about 3 weeks post op and still have trouble with walking more than 30mins at a time at 7weeks out. I have energy, but it runs out quickly.

For the 1st few days, I was tired and weak, but once I focused on getting all my liquids, that helped tremendously!! Even though it took 18 months before I could, consistently get in all my Protein, staying hydrated was the trick for me. Now, I drink a gallon or more a day of Water.

If you're getting your liquids, protein & Vitamins, speak to your doctor about the tiredness, they may want to check blood levels of nutrients to make sure you are not deficient.

I just recently had some criticism because I posted my weight loss but I was weak the first day but my nurses advised me to walk after I woke up and I haven't stopped since

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
