Energy/exhaustion

[Wags 549]

I am 11 days out and I have no problem with getting in liquids or Protein, but I have no energy and I am exhausted. Went to the grocery store yesterday and felt like I had run a marathon. I am not that active usually, but this feels like all my muscles have given up. Any advice? Anyone feel the same?

You just had a fairly major surgery. It takes time to bounce back. Give yourself a break and stay the course. Get your Vitamins, Proteins and Water in like you are doing. Try to stay as active as you can. It will come, it just may not be next week, but it will happen. Hang in there.

Wags, I totally feel YOU! So exhausted!

I know we have to exercise to lose. When do most people start their exercising?

I couldn't even imagine that right now!

Do what you can, as you can. I am a different mutant, I was sleeved on a Tuesday and was back at the gym on the following Monday. Mostly just walked on the treadmill, but it felt good to get active.

Omgosh i felt the same way!! I didn't understand why, because I had never been so exhausted after walking the grocery store. Turns out it was just post-op recovering. I am now 19 days post-op and I am going to the gym. I still feel like sh*t when I get back from the gym, but it's because in pushing myself. It will get better! I am happy someone posted on this. When I had this problem I thought my Iron was low.

Thank you so much for sharing. It gives me encouragement for recovery :-)

Absolutely! I was so worried for awhile. Just take it easy for now! It's much better when you start actually eating.

Oh also, I forgot to mention, I went back to the gym yesterday. But as soon as you feel up to it. I was walking grocery stores, malls, neighborhood, etc. prior to going to the gym.

That's definitely where I'll start. I can just see me walking from the parking lot to the locker room of the gym, then turning around and walking out because I was "done".
