My tiredness and sleepiness subsided somewhere around week 3, though I went back to work on day 10. The key is to manage your energy and rest when you need to. Take care!

It does get better and it's much better when you get all your Protein in. Then there are days where you really do need to nap. I know I could use one today. Stressful day and it wore me out! But you do have to keep hydrated too.

Are you still taking pain meds? I know those made me tired.

Im 3 weeks post op tomorrow and im just exhausted all the time. I go for 40 minute slow walk in the morning and it kills me for the rest of the day. I go to lie down in the afternoon but that doesnt help much especially when all my kids jump on me. I am trying to get enough Protein in but it hard and im drinking well. I think my body is just working will the small amount of food that its getting that it has no energy to spare!!!

I hope some comes my way soon!!

It's so weird I had more then enough energy up to a few days ago and how when I sleep I have to be careful I'm actually tired or I can't sleep and my body feels really anxious I can't stop moving and just lay there and toss and turn, my head is so tired all the time but my body is not its the weirdest thing I have ever felt an I hate it.

Oh my gosh! I feel the same way! I've had extreme fatigue on and off. I'm on my third week post-op. I fell asleep in the dentists waiting room yesterday! I hate it. I feel like I can't get anything done. I'm hoping it will be over soon like everyone says.

I rested and slept during that first week and a half as much as I could. I find that when I get enough Protein in I feel better and have more energy. Also when I take my Vitamins I feel better also. To the person talking 40 minutes walks... Maybe break that up into two 20 min sessions. I am walking at a easy pace 1.5 mph for about 25 min. I feel better when I do walk. Good luck the energy will increase.

I figured out what's making me feel like I wanna crawl out of my skin and feel so jittery its a side effect to compazine an anti nauseous med I was given. I react the same way to reglan I've oh my josh I hate this feeling but at least I found the cause and hopefully will be out of my system in 24 hours.

      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.
