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!

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.

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!

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

      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.
