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.

      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.
