I'm 1 week and 5 days post op. I have so little energy. I can hardly walk anywhere with out resting. Has anyone else had this? Any ideas how to over come? Thank you, Sherbear911

Hi everyone! I had RNY May 12th. I am tired all the time too but I am back to work working 12 hour shifts so that may be part of it. Also I had rotator cuff surgery 7 weeks before and not healed from that. I am afraid to eat. I don't know when I'm hungry and I am worried I will get sick off of everything. It's pretty frustrating to try to talk my self thru this. Anyone else experience this? Sherbear911

Hi! Congrats to you! I had my RNY Monday. And let me tell you, I had so many second thoughts, what if I fail, What if something bad happens during surgery and I did this to myself to just lose weight. Today I have lost a total of 15 lbs since Monday. I am so glad I did it. It is a new way of life. Its harder than you think trying to remember all to do. I am totally scared to eat and over eat. I think mainly you need to respect what you are doing and don't take it for granted. It's going to be a struggle, but it is a journey and your journey is different from everyone else's. I know once you get past the surgery you will be happy and excited for this new life. My Aunt died the say I had surgery. She was extremely over weight and had a massive heart attack. I know then that I had made the right decision for my family and my husband. Try to focus on all the new positives headed your way. I know it's scary but from someone who was just there, it is so worth it!!
