This is day 5 and I have nooo energy. Bleeding is light dr said put a bandage. I'm getting my Water and Protein and Vitamins in but all wanna do is sleep. Lord hear my prayer.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news but I have zero to no energy for almost 2 months, if not a little longer! Your body just went through a HUGE change! Just do what you can- still exercise even if it's just a couple of minutes. Make sure your taking your Vitamins, Water and Protein. The fatigue is normal- don't get frustrated ...this to shall pass!

Has everyone here had the laparoscopic surgery or open procedure? How about the Da Vinci Robotic Surgery?

I had gastric bypass laparoscopically. No dains, No stitches etc. The surgery was the easiest part I did not feel anything. I think your stomach is very sore afterwards for moving all the instruments around in the tiny 6 incisions.

Holy crap u get Protein already !! I am day 6 and still on Clear liquids. Low energy is to be expected hun and from what I have read very normal. Try not to overdo it and make sure your staying hydrated! Watch the drainage for color/smell and heat/redness around sites but hang in there!
