I had surgery 4 days ago. I’m feeling tired and weak? Anyone else experience this?

You just had major surgery. You should feel tired and weak. Give it a few more days.

It's normal, walk as often as you can to build back up some energy.

Not sure what your expectations are. Major surgery and reduced food are all going to take a long time to recover from. I wouldn’t be signing up for an ironman anytime soon

Sounds normal to me

I had the sleeve done 11 days ago and for me i kinda thought this surgery was going to give me energy to be able to play with my 2 kids but i found out that the energy comes much much later. Like months! I also thought (from my surgeon) i wasnt supposed to be hungry sence they removed the appetite hormone in the part of the stomach they cut off that hunger wouldnt come back for 3 yrs. Apparently that was a load of crap! Unless my body is the one in million that doesnt work like that. Im starving and i know alot of people are starving in the liquid faze but goodness gracious its harder than i thought it was going to be. I thought i was going to be comparing the liquid faze to the hcg diet but its much worse. Im kinda a sour person right now so hopefully i dont offend anyone

im tired, weak and feel like i have no muscles in my body to hold me up and that doesnt change if i drink more water or protein. My body just doesnt like this. Im actually giving my kids a bath right now sitting here exhausted and i havent even washed there hair yet..

Anyways i wish u a better journey on ur weight loss.

on a positive note i have lost 18pounds!

Yes, major surgery coupled with a drastic reduction in caloric consumption will do that. The caloric deficit made me feel weak and light-headed a lot, until just recently.

I’m on day 5 post op and I agree it is major surgery similar to what I experience having my gall bladder out or a c-section. I am doing things little by little and feeling better everyday but need to take tests in between and focus on healing and how my new stomach communicated with me. I’m on phase two which means I can introduce yogurt but I’m scared and still on liquid proteins. I don’t have hunger like I used to although my stomach does have another sensation that comes and goes... trying to figure out if it’s too much liquid, it’s empty or it’s just shocked I’m putting something in it:)

Hang in there. Think about the long term. You're almost there. [emoji5]

I'm 3 days post op and I'm also weak and tired and slightly still bloated. I'm thankful to be reading the above posts.

I had to take gasx for a few days after surgery. It really helped with the bloating. I’m two weeks out today and have good energy!

Hi there,
I'm on day 1 post OP and feel the same way. I just finished putting away clothes and now I'm exhausted. I know it will take time. The liquid diet is not wonderful but its just a week and I can live with that. Happy weight journey [emoji2]

Don't over do it. I was told by my surgeon that taking time and resting was okay. Our bodies have just went through a huge change. Take your time.
