2 months post op. So tired / exhausted!



Recommended Posts

I am getting in my fluids, Protein & taking Vitamins I am also eating fruits and veggies. I average around 800 calories a day. I am getting 8 hours of sleep a night but I find myself dozing off all the time. In church, at my desk at work, sitting down on the couch after work. It's horrible! I can't stand how tired I am. I could seriously fall asleep anywhere lately. Anyone else suffering from this? I am not losing hair and I feel great otherwise. just so tired.

Everyone recovers differently. I was super tired and didn't feel fully recovered for about 4 months. I saw so many people post that they felt great so much sooner, but I just kept plugging along. Like you, I ate well, got in my Water, Vitamins, exercise, and sleep.

Give yourself this time to recover. It does pass.

Yes it should pass...have you spoken to your doctor about your concern? Just to be on the safe side?

What we forget, is that our internal structure has been re-worked...and you may just show a few small incisions on the outside, but the insides will take quite a while to fully heal... so take it easy...but if you are concerned (and it sounds like you are)...contact your doctor so they can run some lab work on you

Good luck

Avryv,

I was SO VERY TIRED at about the 2 month mark. Immediately after the surgery I had more energy and then BOOM it hit me lick a Mack truck at full speed. I finally came out of it at about 4 months.

I also didn't read my bariatric Vitamins closely and was only taking 2 pills a day instead of 6! Sometimes I think I'm a blond and Polish and sometimes I know! :D

I started taking the 6 per day and I felt A LOT better.

Hang in there! Like the other posters said your body needs time to heal and it's always wise to discuss it with your doc.

Welcome to the trip down the "loser's" highway!

Blessings,

Katheen

        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
