I was sleeved on the 5th, and also had gallbladder removed and a hiatal hernia fixed. I was feeling great yesterday, it today I just want to SLEEP! Did any one else feel like this? I am not sure if it it's the pain meds, or that I started a heavy period yesterday, or just my body wanting to heal in general. Hard to get my liquids in when I'm snoring. Lol. I am still tryin got walk as weel, but can't get very far when I start to feel light headed and faint.

Did anyone feel like this?

I'm tired from reading everything you went through! I think I need a nap now! :P

But really if you need to rest? Rest? Look at all the things that were just taken out of and done to your body!

sleep, drink, walk and sleep :)

It gets better - I was the same way for a few days. It gets better! First time I tried to work out I thought I would die, but I'm back to (almost) regular workouts now. Make sure you are getting enough Protein in - no fuel = no energy!

The pre-surgery info I got said to expect this. So I wasn't too surprised when I started to feel tired from barely doing anything. I just listen to my body. If it says sleep (and it does a lot), I sleep. Even if only for half an hour. Your body has been though a lot. Listen to it. :)

I'm 10 days out today and this is the first day I have really been tired. The paper work I was given said to expect this...but I thought it was the first week and not the 2nd. Having problems getting in all of my liquids.< /p>

Thanks all. None of my paper work said anything about being tired. When I'm awake, I get liquids in pretty good. I guess body knows best! :-)

I was tired for several weeks, but I had a UTI, then for about a week from antibiotics and then lactose intolerance. It took me a long time to recover. I personally feel that less energy (calories) in equals lass energy to use. My shakes were only 100 calories.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
