I too started with same weights as yourself. My surgery was on 10th March 2016 and today I'm down 20lbs. So i am now 227. I do expect the loss to slow down as I will be eating a bit more as the weeks progress onto more solid food. But good luck, you're going to be fine x Sent from my SM-T800 using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
krissy34 21 Posted April 1, 2016 Bey Opal Chick - how are you feeling energy wise? I'm a week out and get tired pretty easily - I was super active before surgery so it's a little frustrating needing a nap every day.

Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Ps - great job so far on your weight loss that's awesome! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App I'm feeling good regards weight loss surgery but I'm suffering from a separate issue in that I need a total hip replacement. Surgery scheduled for 25th June, so I feel tired from the every day effort of just moving about. Everything is such an effort and I'm now using a cane. I had to stop taking anti inflammatory tablets a week before gastric sleeve surgery. So it's hard to say whether my tiredness is due to such a low calorie diet or my hip. I'd say take a nap if you're able. I also went back to work 10 days after surgery. I'm exhausted some evenings so have early nights. Come June, things can only get better. And for every single one of us who has decided to undergo serious surgery as a last resort to help control our weight (a decision not taken lightly) I'd say all our lives WILL get better. Some journeys more difficult than others, but nonetheless we're all in this together. So keep going krissy34, you'll be fabulous x Sent from my SM-T800 using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I too needed a nap ever day for at least a little over a week. Once I was able to get more Protein in I felt so much better. Water is still hard to drink all the ounces but I'm doing my best. I am on pureed food now which helps a lot with energy. I am down 19 lbs since surgery and total of 30 lbs since December. Walking alot helps. I wish you the best in your new journey.
