Hello my name is Johann,I had my vsg surgery 19 days ago,a week after my surgery I had an internal infection,I was in the hospital for three days with antibiotic, before my two week pre op diet I was 265lbs, the day of my surgery I wad 255lbs, right now 19 days after my surgery I am 241lbs.sometimes I feel like I regret doing this surgery because I don't feel the same,I feel tired, sluggish, I want to have my normal life when I was always active, going places, working with energy.can someone please tell me if this will end or is it always going to be like this.I want tho feel energy, happiness and active.I don't want to be stress.

You just had major surgery (no matter how common and easy people make it seem). It took me about 3 months to start feeling normal levels of energy again. Your energy levels will return, just hang in there.

I completely feel your pain, in fact i wrote a post just like yours that I was regreting my cirgury because i had no energy and didnt feel normal as well. And im 20 years old, so imagine how this has impact my social life as well. I HAD AN INTERNAL INFECTION AFTER A WEEK AS WELL! our journey seems alike. I was 2 days in the hospital . Right now Im 5 weeks post op and believe me, things get so much better! Day by day. Dont over think bc that kills us. Just enjoy day by day and try to distract yourself when negative thoughts pop out! (I have anxiety and panic attack problems so imagine how hard this is for me) but im here, hanging in there having faith things will be amazing.

I understand this is a difficult journey to be on but as earlier poster said you had major surgery give your body a chance to heal give your mind a chance to heal this is all going to be worth it in the end.

I am feeling the same way. I had surgery on June 23rd & am feeling horrible. I don't have pain, but just trying to take a shower, brush my hair & put on clothes is exhausting. I am struggling to eat my Protein goals everyday & am spending most of my days just laying around feeling rotten. The weight is coming off but I can't wait for energy to come back. I have all summer to recoup but hope I can enjoy some of the summer:)
