I was banded on 5/5 and still get really tired? Is this normal? I could seriously nap every afternoon if I had the time.

I actually felt very weak and tired for the first three months after surgery. I've never had tons of energy anyway, but I just didn't even have it in me to exercise or really do anything at all for at least the first twelve weeks. I believe it's different for everyone, depending on when your full energy returns.

Hi there,

I am 11 days out and to be honest didn't start feeling better until just yesterday. Are you getting enough Protein in every day. The lack of calories shouldn't be too bad if you are getting in your protein. I don't want to sound contrite, but it will get better, I promise. People kept telling me it would and I just didn't believe them. But, now I do. Take your Vitamins and get your protein in, it will work!!!

Hey Mominkansas, yepper! I was banded on 4/30 and am still feeling tired. I think for me part of it is the major surgery part and the drastic change in food intake. It does seem to be better since I can have mushies. I try to get a bit of carbs with my protein for the energy.

I am glad to see from the other posts that this to will pass.

I was very tired for at least a month afterwards. I'd go wanna sleep whenever I wasn't at work.

I'm 3 months since banding, still tired and as a result have looked at my protein intake and decided it's been lacking. I just started a protein shake in the morning, I'm hoping it helps. Make sure you check with your doctor if it persists.:laugh:

Hi,

my surgery was april 20, and i am still tried especially if i do alot in one day.

i thought it was my age, but then i remember we were put to sleep, and it takes quite a few months for that to leave you system. so i do think it is normal for alot of people!

it does get better everyday!
