When does the tiredness end?

[Mcgann320 26]

I was tired real bad for the first week, and the second week was so much better, just got tired when walking and showering. Other than that, my surgery and recovery was a breeze.

I had my surgery May 5th, and up until the last couple of weeks I have been exhausted. It gets better every week, but I've never had so little energy. I've been incorporating more and more exercise, and that helps, but I do think this takes several months to get back to "normal" or at least a new "normal."

I am 4 weeks out and I still struggle with energy. Hope it comes back soon.

I asked the doctor at my follow-up appointment and he said about three months of tiredness before we feel like we get back to normal. He was also sleeved.

that's great to know! It seems that upping my D3 & walking has helped a bit. did that simultaneously so not sure if increase is from one or both.

Yeah it was 2-3 weeks for me. Once I felt better (less pain and just post op stuff) the fatigue was the worst! Like I felt too tired to stand in the shower for 10 mins! But by three weeks I was fine!

I am exactly a week out and I don't feel tired all day, but once or twice a day I feel a crash coming on. I have stayed busy and when I get that feeling I just take a sip of grape or apple juice and it puts me back in the groove. i think when your body kicks over to ketosis your energy gets better. I had a few days of eating nothing at all and I think that moved the process along faster for me.
