I had surgery on 11/21 and still get fatigued so easily. Has anyone else experienced this? I'm trying to get in as much Protein - just got powders? utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury powder to sprinkle on food. Also, taking 2 Flintstone Vitamins a day. Hope to get back to work next week. Any suggestions appreciated!

It just takes a while. It will pass when u start getting real food. I was sleeved on 10/23. I still have days I am fatigued. Our bodies are still adjusting. It was much better starting at about 6 weeks out.

Thanks, it sounds like it's just a normal part of the healing process and it helps to know it's not unique to me! I agree, figuring out the food can be so confusing and the nutritionist that works with my doctor has never contacted me so I'm going by a packet of information they gave me. So far only able to eat about a tablespoon of food at any one sitting. Good luck everyone and hope to share more soon with all of you :)

There is a huge improvement from week to week. Looking back at 6 weeks out - I can not believe how tired I was. It gets way better in a couple of weeks.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        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.

      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!
