How long did the severe post op fatigue last?

Meljp, I woke up from surgery with tons of energy that hasn't really flagged yet. The more weight I lose and exercise I do, the more energy I seem to have. Strange how that works, hmmm?

I was pooped till about month 4. I really lagged in the energy dept. and I ate correctly, got in the recommended water/protein/calories/vitamins and exercised. It does pass though. I feel great now and have for a long time.

3 days for me - get your Protein and Vitamins in! Water is also essential!

Never had any fatique, my energy has been amazing. Just got lucky I guess. Just keep up your Protein and Water and walk as much as you can, you will be amazed how quick you will feel better. Good luck!

if my Water and/or Protein is a bit low, i feel like I'm draggin' my butt around!!! : )

try and get in an extra Protein Shake a day for a week and try and drink that extra glass or 2 of water. It helped me huge!!!

This was the worst part of surgery for me. I was so weak I could hardly walk to the kitchen or bathroom with out feeling faint. Part of it was that my blood pressure dropped drastically so I upped my salt intake. And part of it was that I had a very hard time getting in enough calories. I was only at 200-300 for the first 2 months. Before the surgery I had stalked up on tons of different kinds of Protein Shakes and powders. But they all made me gag. I had to find ways to get Protein that didn't over fill my tiny, very restrictive sleeve. At about 10 weeks, things finally turned around for me when I was able to eat a little more.
