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'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!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
