I'm 3 weeks out I'm walking anywhere from 30-60 minutes a day. I average about 7 hours of sleep a night. But after I eat Breakfast (1 egg, 1 cup skim milk and my vitamins) I feel drained. I feel like I could go to sleep standing up and it doesn't go away. I feel tired all day long. I'm getting 70-80 g Protein a day and my calorie intake is about 800. I'm getting 6 glasses of Water in a day. I was just wondering if anyone else has or had symptoms like this. Is it normal? Is it something I'm doing wrong??

My doctor has me take b-12 pills. He said I don't have to take them, but they will help with the energy. I can tell a big difference! I take 1 sublingual every 2 days. Hope this helps.

I'm three weeks out also, and you're doing much better than me with the walking and drinking enough Water. We are still healing, we had major surgery and it may take six months to a year to be completely healed. I think you have great stamina since you're already so active. Send some my way. LOL.

I have three kids. No rest for the wicked lol. I dunno I'm just tired of being tired! I will pick up some more B 12 Vitamins and see if that will help.

My dr also has me taking the B Complex sublingual. I have boundless energy! I don't know if it's the B or my weight loss. Someone will probably write that you are not consuming enough calories, however I average between 650 and 850 a day. You might talk to your doctor to make sure you're not anemic.

I chew 3 Flintstone's chewables COMPLETE with CHOLINE.

I never feel tired at all, because they keep you peppy!

You can google the CHOLINE and see it is a form of Vitamin B.

I have been taking these sinse bannded, and will take them

for the rest of my life.

If i miss a few days of taking them, I can feel the difference.

I feel terrible. After a couple days of taking them, I pick rite

up again.

Go to the Flintstone and print a coupon, and start buying them on sale.

It's worth it.

I have had the same thing and also have 3 kids. I believe it is from not enough intake of calories. When I am not eating enough I am tired. I try hard to eat enough and even starting taking Protein Shakes to boost calories. I also take Vitamin supplements, you can take all the supplements in the world but if you calories are low you can not make through a day and will be tired, sorry.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
