I think that is totally normal. I was sleeved March 12 and I still get tired. It gets better everyday.....My doctor told me to rest when you get tired.....Are you getting all of your Vitamins?

Just know you are on your way!

Hang in there

I felt the same way at that stage. It took me about a month to finally get my energy back. Just keep trying to walk as much as you can. I promise it does get better. :)

The B12 should help. I am almost 53 and was sleeved on the 6th of March. Listen to your body. Rest when you need to.

Honestly my doctor. Gave me one of those inhale breathing. Pumps you know the one where u can place the little blue marker at maybe 1500 or 2200..but it gives your lungs air it builds it back up and your suppose to do it 10 times a day and it really does give u your breath back..and lessen the fatigue..try it love

      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.
