2 weeks out EXHAUSTED !



Recommended Posts

I'm 2 weeks out today and I'm still exhausted. I do a good amount of stuff during the day, but end up having to take a nap mid day. But I'm just dragging my self :( when will the energy come in?

I was exhausted until about 3 weeks out. When I started on soft foods, and started walking more then my energy returned. Now 4 months later I should be able to bottle and sell my energy I have so much.

Hang in there. It will get better.

It took me about 4-5 weeks to not get exhausted doing the simplest things but now at almost 4 months out I feel fantastic!!! I have lost right at 70 pounds and am loving life! Hang in there it will get better.

I'm on week 5 and just starting to get my energy back. No naps this week and feeling great. I had some internal bleeding 3 days post op that set me back a week though.

Good luck!

I will be 2 weeks post op this coming Monday and I'm right with you! Exhausted and napping during the day (which is frustrating as I'm usually a go go go kind of girl). I'm glad to hear this will soon end (crossing fingers). Best of luck to you!

Good evening you may need to eat more so your body will have something to feed off of. I will be 2 weeks on Tuesday and I felt like that at first and I realized that I had to eat a snack I between meals . Phase 2 foods. Hope this helps you also you have to be consitant with it .

It will take a few weeks. Be kind to yourself and do what you can and rest. It does get better. Like others have said, I felt much stronger when I could eat more and excercise. I am almost 4 weeks out and I feel so much better. I've been cleaning and organizing everything since I still can't tackle the big things. But it is nice to start cleaning out the closet and seeing a difference in myself.......down 38 lbs total! 18 since surgery.

Me too, was just exhausted until week three, when it started to improve. I'm still not 100% but at least I can function. Every week is better.

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
