I’ve written here in the last weeks how I’ve really been lacking energy. Recently I’ve been noticing my mind (which is most definitely exhausted) either over estimating how tired my body is or how much effort something will take me … for instance like a short half mile walk to the pharmacy after a grueling day. It’s like my head is saying on repeat you’re too tired to do this even as I walk, but as I check in with my body walking, I realize my body is just fine, feels good even. I imagine this is in part the balance of having lost 60+ lbs since first visiting my surgeon for a consult last august. I’m alittle over 2 months post sleeve.


I also wonder if any of mental exhaustion has to do with the effect of the restriction on my adhd.

Anyone else experience a similar mind body disconnect?

I too am suffering with fatigue. One pool exercise routine and I’m exhausted but not every day. Some days getting up is a challenge. I don’t like cold, so hope it’s that. I walked two miles one evening, it was great, but next morning was exhausted. Blood work seems ok. Yes I’m 70, but this is weird. I read some COVID patients experience this much later. I can’t seem to get answers. I take my multi vitas, Protein, vitamin B12 and Vita D 50K per week. Go to gym almost every day for pool or walk, bike, so trying to build muscle. Slow looser. Sleeve last July. Lost 30 lbs so far, so it’s not that I’m depleted. Ughh
