The last week in a half now I have been so drained. I thought it maybe because I came on my monthly , but this is something different. I usually go straight to the gym after work, but lately I have only been 3 days. I'm just so exhausted, I can bearly make it through my 8 hours at work. I'm going to the gym tomorrow but now I'm worried about gaining. Shouldn't be because I can not anyways. 3 bites and I'm full. Still having a hard time drinking 64 oz of fluids. It will be 3 months out on 6/20 and I hope I have not gained. Just don't know how to get more energy, this just hit me at once last week. Hope it's almost over.

Really try to focus on your fluids. Dehydration leads to fatigue as your body tries to reserve resources.

Hope you're feeling like yourself again soon!

Depending on where you live, it could be the weather. I find heat and humidity draining and summer is here.

I'm sorry you are feeling so tired. As for the Water, I was having a hard time getting my 64 oz in also until I figured out that if I drink 8 oz every hour for 8 hours I can get it in. That gives you a full hour to drink 8 oz. If your exhaustion does not remedy itself I suggest seeing your surgeon. Good luck with your water and everything else. You have this.

I agree with others, focus on Water intake. A week after surgery I was back in for IV fluids.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
