4 week post op- wheres my energy



Recommended Posts

I feel so run down & tired. I'm also still having trouble getting in my Protein & liquids. I feel full all day & don't realize I'm hungry until my stomach starts feeling yucky. I need to find a happy medium ready to move into a happier phase.

If you find your energy, look for mine too! I'm 18 months post-op and down 150 lbs - still haven't had that mythical leap in energy levels so many people claim to have experience after losing weight. :P

It generally takes 6 to 8 weeks after surgery to feel the increase of energy. Drink your Water, eat your Protein and exercise. You will get your energy from the exercise so start moving and keep it up.

Had my surgery in April 2014 also and my energy is gone, I've started on B12 injections which seem to help but I don't know how long it will last . Good luck

I am almost four weeks out and in the same boat. I am doing cardio everyday and feel fine when I am exercising but the rest of the day I am exhausted. I am out for the summer from work( I teach) but am worried about making it through the day when I need to go back. I have to take a nap everyday and then can still sleep like 8 hours at night.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
