I have absolutely no energy.. But I am continuously told that exercise is important and so is muscle mass I'm so tired I can barely go up the stairs this is just now happening I had my surgery on the 12th and I was able to walk so much .. Now I'm so tired I just want to lay down. Is this normal? Will it get better?

It's totally normal. It will get better. Some days you'll just be more tired than others. I'm 9 wks out and I'm barely making it up the stairs sometimes. No way I could do anything other than walking and stretching. We're eating so much less. Do what you can and don't stress. ❤️

Thank you for the encouragement, it's much needed.????

I've been the same, and the clinic assured me it's normal after being on the liquid diet. They said that after eating "real" food for a week or so, I should be feeling a lot better.

You have had little to no Protein according to some of your other posts, so it makes sense you would be tired. Hoping your NUT has clarified that by now and as you add in protein and more foods, it should get better. Also be sure you are drinking enough. Dehydration can cause weakness and tiredness.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
