    I'm so glad it's not just me. I was dead tired when I returned to work last week. I fell asleep at my desk and slept during lunch. My surgery was on Feb 1st and the doctor finally let me have coffee

It just takes time...

Thank you it’s good to know I’m not the only one!


Totally normal! Your body's putting a LOT of energy into healing right now, getting used to a huge drop in calories, and trying to figure out why it's losing so much weight so quickly (which will cause the stall that's coming, so don't freak out about that when it happens!). :)

I am one week out today and I’m feeling the same way. Extremely tired. Yesterday I felt like I had so much more energy. Today, not at all. Reading everyone’s comments helps out a lot. I also have been taking naps daily.

Yes I feel like I need a nap every day! I’m a week and 2 days!


I just had RnY on February 14th, and I was told it's normal to feel tired because our bodies are adjusting to a major surgery, calorie intake is low etc. The closer you get to meeting a 80 gram protein goal and 64 oz fluids you will feel better. Every few days I make a broth with ramen noodles packets and that kind of picks me up!

Yes!! I had surgery on the 12th and take a hard core nap daily. I really hate this more than the discomfort after surgery! I did 2 loads if dishes-wiped. Get the kids out the door for school-exhausted. Took a walk with my son today, and my back aches!! Ugh! Ready for this to be over!

I was sleeved on the 12 th also! I think I will keep up with naps and just not feel bad about it but it will be better when this stage is over!
