My surgery was back on the 30th and with everyday that passes things have gotten easier. Today is my first roadblock. I woke up and have no energy. I mean I could barely get out of bed. I started my Protein Shakes yesterday. Im sure I will get some energy soon. I know my body is still getting used to the surgery. Is anyone having or had the same issue and what did u do? Thanks

It's normal to have low energy the first few weeks after surgery because your body is healing and you are only getting a small amount of carbs and calories. I remember having to rest frequently for the first few weeks. Listen to your body, you will start to have more energy when you get to a point that you can take in more for hydration and fuel. You will feel a little better every day.

However, if you have other symptoms with it, like running a fever, or getting sweaty and shaky, call your doc asap.

Being tired is normal for the first few weeks. Your body is healing and you're getting fewer nutrients. It should pass.

      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?
