I'm so tired.....

[HappyValleyHappy 48]

Holy cow. How long does it take to get past this? I have never been so bone tired in my entire life.

I'm 18 days post rny and I haven't the strength of a newborn.

More than enough Water. 60 grams at least Protein. Eating soft foods.

Doing everything right. I guess I'm just not used to the weakness.

Wow.

I just had dinner and we clears the plates from the table. I started to empty the dishwasher and after I put two things into an upper cabinet I was done. Couldn't even lift my arms.

Ok. Done whining.

Your body is losing weight at an alarming rate. If you can, let your body rest as much as possible. At some point you will wake up with more energy than you know what to do with. Seriously. Good luck.

Thanks wildGoose. I think I'll take a nap and think about that.

Hope you're feeling a bit better. The exhaustion you spoke of seems to be a pretty common complaint as a new post op.

Took me almost 4 weeks to stop feeling completely exhausted! Keep doing what you are supposed to, make sure you force yourself to get out and walk several times a day too!

It took me about 4 weeks as well to stop feeling completely exhausted. Up until then, taking a shower could be my one activity for the day.

I was exhausted all the time too. Horrible feeling. I had to take naps just to get through the day. I am 4 1/2 months out now and finally getting better. Still tired but I don't have to have naps now. Good luck...it does get better!!

Also thank you everyone for all your postings. There are many people like me that watch and reads.

I was exhausted for a good 6 weeks.. resting is the best way to help, on top of Protein and Water. It does go... honest!! Hope you feel better soon ☺

It took a good month to feel energized. I can say when it came though I felt amazing, I was ready to run. I often have more energy than my 14 year old. Caffeine use to be my drug, but ever since I dumped it I feel great!!

Tomorrow will be 5 weeks post op for me, and I am still pretty tired. No pain, no tummy issues, no other bad side effects to speak of really, just fatigue. Off to nap!

Had my surgery the same day as @cervidae. I've been napping a lot lately too. Must be normal because I'm not normally a napper.

I am 3 weeks post revision from sleeve to RNY. I am soooooo tired. I went back to work last week and thought it was that... This weekend I slept! About to go to bed because I work tomorrow. Hope this ends soon. Good luck everyone!

I'm 5 weeks post op and very tired too and... to make it worse I work 12 hr shifts at night! I can't tell if I'm nightshift tired or just plain tired. It's miserable... and no caffeine. Gah!

I am nearly 4 months out and still feel tired. Not as bad as it was but I do hit a wall sometimes and have to be in bed by 7 30.
