Had surgery 4/16. Lost 25 lbs. and now I am stuck. The worst part is that I am physically exhausted all the time. I drink several protein, fat free milk, sugar free Carnation shakes a day. I take vitamins with iron, chewable and chewable calcium several times a day. I eat other things from the list too....but I am so EXHAUSTED I can barely move. Does this happen to anyone else?

I had my surgery on 3/30. From about week 2-4 I felt completed drained and weak. I rested a lot and took naps. I felt better after the 4th week. I was able to start mushies at that time and just being able to eat more normal food seemed to help. It's been less than 6 weeks now, and I'm feeling more energetic than before the surgery.

At 10 weeks out from surgery, I have more energy than I ever would have believed possible on less than 1000 calories a day and weighing in at 237. I'm sleeping better, off all medication, able to walk more comfortably, etc...I try to do water aerobics for at least 30 minutes a day. I'm able to eat very small portions--but a reasonable amount to feel satisfied--and I haven't found any food that I can't tolerate. So all in all, I would say I'm doing great! I hope you are starting to get some of your energy back...how would you say you are doing overall?
