Are you taking any Vitamin supplements? Try taking a B vitamin and see if that helps. Everyone recovers from surgery differently.

It will get better. I had gastric bypass on July 22, and for the first two weeks I had no energy for nothing. I'm three weeks out and it's a lot better. Right after surgery, I took naps every day. Now, If I feel really tired, I take a short nap. Just hang in there!

It took three weeks for energy to start to return. I have never been so tired in my life.

I'm 10 days out and too tired to do much. I walk from the couch to the kitchen and have to pause to catch my breath or gain energy to go back. I do find some days are better than others. I also started driving my teen to school this week and the walk to the car is fine. Yet from the car, up a flight of stairs to my apartment is so draining that I am literally panting by the time I get to the door. Pain and soreness is still there but are getting much more tolerable. Overall I think it gets better each day. I start on a Multivitamin next Tuesday when I start my 3rd week so I hope to see some improvements. Hope you feel better Niki.

I thought I was the only person that felt weak. I live up 3 flights of stairs and I am literally out of breath once I make it to my door. And I'm not in the mood to do anything. AND I'M HUNGRY!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
