I'm 6 weeks post op and have lost 19.5 pounds (was on the lower end at the start-221.8). I can usually manage to reach my Protein goal daily and get in exercise and whatnot, but I don't feel all this energy people talk about. I am looking forward to that feeling!! Why do you think that is? Is anyone else going thru this?

I'm 3 weeks out and I'm always sleepy even after following everything too tea. So l'm looking forward to what others have to say about this.

I guess it's pretty common.

I had my blood levels checked. I knew I am anemic and had been taking a Vitamin with Iron but apparently it wasn't enough. In just 2 days I upped just my Iron intake and WOW! I feel more awake. I take a b complex daily and have started the Gummy Vitamins, so maybe all this is making a difference. But I'd attribute it to the iron.

I agree that being positive about stuff is important and I generally am, and that helps immensely with mood!

Since I pretty much felt like s**t pre-op, I may have mistaken not feeling like s**t for a "burst of energy." ;)

.

OMG, that was my experience. I think I had a brief energy burst the first few days out, but that may have been elation at not being in pain anymore and not dying. Still, if I have a day I don't feel like crap I might mistake it for energetic elation. I am about 2ish months out.

Im 2 months and 3 weeks out from RNY I got my burst of energy just about 1 week ago. so I guess you can say it was 2 and a half months out, I have been getting 13,000 steps in most days now and I feel like if I needed to I could do more!

I am having trouble with that myself. I am now 8 weeks out and I am still very tired all of the time. I am hoping that when I get my B12 spray and my new Vitamins it will help with that. Are you on Vitamins currently?

I second what @@sleevergirl2015 said. I would also add that simple things (getting up from a chair) are FAR less painful than before, so I'm more willing to get up and let the dog out, etc. My wife thinks I have a lot more energy based on this, but I attribute it to more of a lack of pain than additional energy.

I've never been a high energy guy. Even back in high school when I played sports and was in good shape.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
