Ree224 22 Posted May 19, 2014 I have read that after the surgery due to malnutrition you lose energy. I know that carrying the weight zaps your energy. I also have hypothyroid that takes my energy. I just want to know that you get energy back. Thanks for any feed back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
marfar7 1,533 Posted May 19, 2014 Absolutely! I could feel the energy come back fully after I started eating actual food, at about 4 weeks post op. The liquid stage sucks, not only becuz I starved but becuz I had very little energy. As the weight comes off, ull reap the benefits of more energy also. I also take Levothyroxine for my thyroid. have for about 12 yrs. Haven't noticed a difference in that area since having wls. Good luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HHHappy 225 Posted May 19, 2014 I'm also hypothryoid. My energy level returned in less than a week post op! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
squeaker31 65 Posted May 19, 2014 I have been wondering about my energy levels. Pre surgery I was always exhausted. Always. I still feel tired but I think I do have more energy now at 6 weeks out. I feel like I can walk with more pep in my step. I still need naps and am not as active as I want to be but I'm hoping to keep building. Finally feel like maybe an upward spiral instead of a downward one! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
