13 Days Post Op - Weak And Tired?



Recommended Posts

Does anyone else feel this way? I'm so tired! I have no energy and I feel like I could sleep all day. I'm trying to get all my Protein in but frankly I don't have much of an appetite either. :-(

I was the same. Slept ten hours at least every day. I enjoyed it though, snuggling in bed every day watching tv and sleeping so much, sleep is good :)

But I was lucky, I live with my sis and she pampered me big time! She got up early to make me my own liquid food to take to work and made me liquid dinner every night!

I'd say stick it out, once you start eating u'll get energized again and your body will soon adapt.

I just had my 3rd fill 5 days ago and just started eating solids tonight, this morning it was so difficult to get out of bed, but it gets better :)

Brandi, my surgery was on the 20th too. I feel exactly the same, I keep hoping when I switch to mushies I'll get more energy.

I need to remember my vitamins!

I am 3 weeks post op and for about the first 2 weeks I felt so weak so I started chewing 3 Vitamins instead of 2, Calcium 2, Biotin 2 daily, Vitamin D 1 daily, and the one that helped the most was B 12. The B12 I found at walgreens its all natural and its liquid also it taste very good I would highly recommend it. Hope you start feeling better.

I am now 7 days post-op from banded plication. As of today I am still a little less than normal, but I am no where as weak and tired as I was over the weekend and even Monday. You are probably getting dehydrated and not getting enough calories in. Remember Calories=energy. I picked up some of the low cal gatordte and have been sipping on that for the electrolytes and calories I think that has helped out a lot. I even went for a 20 minute walk yesterday after "light" shopping for about 2 hours.

Good luck!

I remember feeling the same way. Went grocery shopping and felt like I needed a nap. I tried to drink Protein Drinks but still felt weak. Once I progressed to mushy foods I felt so much better. I made sure I had fish and ate. I am now 4 weeks out. Still a little tired but nothing compared to the first 2 weeks. It's normal. Be patient. Good luck

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
