I'm not surprised to hear this as you are in the very early stages of recovery. None of those things are unusual in the first month or so post-op but I'd definitely recommend that you give your medical team a call so that your concerns can be fully addressed.

being exhausted is very common since you're not getting many calories. Dizzyness might also be related to dehydration. Are you getting enough fluids?

I had my sleeve one day after you. I am also struggling with being overly tired. I just start my purée soft food hoping that might help with more of a variety of food to eat.

I wish I could have food. I can only have applesauce and pudding as "food" as I can't have creamy Soups or yogurt... bad dairy problems now :(

Okay... I'm doing everything my surgeon has told me to do, so I guess I'm doing everything right as well huh?

Everyone is different so if your doing everything right then it's fine have you talked to your surgeon about it

Yes. He just gave me more meds for nausea. I told him I'm having a hard time getting in enough food, and he said "I'll think about moving you to solids". I have 1 1/2 weeks until I can have solids unless he moves me forward. Just nervous I won't be able to hold them down either.

Hey! Wanted to reach out because our stats are super similar. I was sleeved 7/7 so I'm 6 days post-op.

I'm also pretty exhausted all day. I try to go for a few short walks around my neighborhood every day, but they exhaust me. When I was walking today (nothing crazy, I wouldn't even call it a brisk walk), I checked my pulse and it was up to 160. I know I have to be dehydrated. I'm trying so hard to get my nutrition right--I'm up to about 50 grams of Protein daily and about 45-50 oz of liquids. It's just so hard for me to get more in. I feel like I'm nauseous half way through the day from constantly drinking. My pee isn't super dark or anything, it looks fine, but I'm just totally sapped of energy and small things make me tired--especially climbing stairs. I'm worried I'm gonna like pass out or something if I do much more because of dehydration :/. So I totally understand where you're coming from. I have my 1 week follow up appointment with my surgeon today, so I'm going to see what he has to say!

You're doing much more than me! It seems I'm extremely heat sensitive now :(

I hear you I am too! The humidity really gets to me. I think we are just not as well hydrated as before surgery so it's harder for our bodies to handle. I talked to my surgeon today and told him about my heart rate when walking and he told me I need to dial it back a bit and increase my Water to at least 64 oz a day. So I'm going to rest more and try my hardest to drink more--which won't be easy! I'm just always afraid I'm not doing enough and that I'm gonna screw myself up in some way. But clearly I'm doing just fine. I lost 10 pounds at my appointment today and I'm 6 days post op. We can do this!! It's not easy but it will get easier as time goes on--I just hold on to that.

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
