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.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        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!
