Anyone else have days when they are exhausted?



Recommended Posts

I'm ten weeks post op and for the most part I feel great but I have days where I am just wiped out. I feel like I did post op. It's so weird. I am thinking it is the fewer calories catching up with me? I recently did two back to back work trips and I was exhausted.

I think you are still healing from major surgery. You are only 2 months out right? Body is still dealing with a lot of crap. Give your self a break and a chance to be human. We are not superwomen much as we would like to think that we are....There are still some days where I feel tired. We eat so little and do so much trying to get this weight off that I think sometimes we burn the candle at both ends.

Kristy, I think you are right. I forget how major this surgery is plus I had complications and another surgery. To that point, my skin still is sensitive where the incisions were.

I felt that way this morning so I feel your pain. It was to the point where my eyes closed during a presentation. Ugh, need to find a way to give ourselves a little boost. :-) (3 weeks postop)

I can only imagine with the traveling, how tiring it must be! Traveling without having major surgery is tiring! I was a Flight Attendant, so I know! I'm almost 4 weeks and I haven't gone back to work yet. I have more energy than the weeks before, but not ready to be on my feet 10hours a day. I'm sure it will come in time. Dreading next Monday...wha.... :)

      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
