Are you on any medication for reflux? Some surgeons give it to everyone post-op but I had to ask for it around week 4 or 5. It sounds like you are doing well with eating!

Feeling tired is normal, you are recovering from major surgery.

I used to take omeprezole (Prilosec) daily. At my 4wks post op last week, the Dr told me I could stop the medicine & only take as needed. The last 2 days have been hell for heartburn & reflux. Started the medicine again today & feel so much better. (FYI - I struggle getting my liquids down too.)

I am feeling very tired too. Surgery was Nov 9th.

I think it's catching up with reduced calories, not enough fluids, low carb and not a lot of real healthy nutrients (just protein). Also, it could be the winter weather and lack of sunshine.

I felt like I've been fortunate not feeling real tired for the first 5 weeks but now it's hitting me.

I think it's normal.

Try getting more fluids. Dehydration causes fatigue too.

Hang in there! You are not alone
