EXHAUSTED

[lfry925 38]

Hi all,

I was sleeved on 4/8. Had a rough time for the first few days post op. The gas is the pits. Back to feeling myself now except for the exhaustion that has taken over my body. I get to eat today. I'm starting with an egg and an ounce of mozzarella cheese. I'm hoping the calories and nourishment help with the fatigue. Does the fatigue last anyway? Despite new foods? I'm so tired I'm in bed by 7:30 every night with a two hour nap during the day. Bonus: down 15 pounds since surgery!

I was very tired for about two weeks then got better make sure your getting you Protein and Water, how soon can you start your Multi Vitamins? That helps ! Once your on soft foods it's gets a lot better

Agreed. Make sure you are taking your Vitamins. Do the best you can to get in all your Water and Protein until you are at or above the minimum requirements. It's normal to tire easily post -op . As you body heals and you get in your fluids and nutrients, you should improve.

Got in about 1/4 of the egg and counted the minutes until I could drink again. I think that's the hardest part

I was pretty tired for 4 weeks. You had major surgery, your body is healing. Protein, Water and talking short walks all helps heal you and you will feel like yourself (minus all the weight) in no time at all. Listen to your body and rest as you need to.
