I am 8 weeks out tomorrow and I am just now feeling more alive. I have been so tired too. I'm thinking that's just our bodies way if healing from major surgery.

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.

        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!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
