Sleeved 3/6 and down nearly 44 lbs. getting in my Protein but not so great on Water the past week. I vow to do better! I started taking slow fe Iron this past week but I'm still tired. Taking all of my vites and all of that so I'm kind if confused. I just haven't wanted to exercise the last week or so either. Any ideas?

I'm not sure how I can help because I am in the same situation. I was sleeved on 3/30 and am down 42lbs. I am so tired all the time. I have no energy to make it through the day. Any advise would be helpful.

From what I've read, hydration is reallllly important! It MIGHT play a part?????

I agree with Arts137...I've heard hydration is super important for feeling energy.

It's all about the Water. I felt the same way 3-4 weeks out. Someone on the forum suggested I increase my Water consumption and I noticed an immediate difference in two days. Yeah, it's hard to think about drinking 64 ounces of anything but it makes a difference. I just keep a bottle of water or G2 Gatorade (watch the carbs) with me at all times. The new water enhancers by Dasani, Crystal Light and yes, even Kool-Aid, or great ways to get flavor without calories or carbs.

It's weird...I drink so much Fluid, yet I don't make frequent bathroom stops as you would normally think. But I definitely have more energy.

Three weeks out and I haven't missed a day without a nap. Not one. I will take the advice and take in more Water, since I think I have been light in this regards. Thanks for the comments.

It's internal drive too. Just make yourself get out and do something. Take a buddy if it would help. Maybe try something different, like Water aerobics, trampoline aerobics, etc.

I am also in the same boat...I only have a few sips of Water a day and probably no protein..I hardly get hungry and when I do I have no energy to eat..I'm 35 pounds down was sleeved April 8th...I haven't been to the gym because I have no energy but know I have to start ASAP so that I don't get much loose skin.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
