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.... :)

      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.
