elcee 3,342 Posted April 30, 2012 It's normal to be tired after surgery. They have given you an anaesthetic, cut you open, moved bits around, inserted something that wasn't there before and then stitched you up again. On top of this because it was bariatric surgery you are on a restricted diet which also has an effect. So remember to be kind to yourself. Rest and don't try to run any marathons yet!

Wheety3 5 Posted May 1, 2012 I was banded 4/20, started work last Weds and all I could do is go to work and then come home to bed. Yesterday was the first day I didn't fall asleep when I got home from work. It will come, take it easy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mommykristie 59 Posted May 1, 2012 The energy will come back. Your body just needs time to heal.Rest and take care of yourself. This is one time that it is perfectly okay to be completely selfish! In just a few days, your energy level will be back to normal and then some. Hang in there! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jepegurl 23 Posted May 1, 2012 I'm two weeks post op today and my energy level is pretty normal. It probably was a few days ago. Advancing my diet from clears to mushys really helped me. And healing, giving it time did too I'm sure. Hang in there, you'll be feeling better soon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
