Fatigue and bloating

[Fallon678 2]

I just got my gastric sleeve done on June 14th. I am wondering what has helped you with the bloating and fatigue I am experiencing?

I am taking a daily Vitamin and my diet is strictly Protein Shakes, Water, sugar free and caffeine free teas, also chicken broth and sugar free popsicles.

You’re so newly sleeved so give yourself some time. You probably have a lot of fluids and gas still in you from your surgery. A lot of those foods might have high sodium which contributes to bloat. Lots of Water helps and later, potassium rich food.

What helped me with the gas was just moving/walking around. As for the sleepiness, that went away after the first two weeks once I moved into the puree stage. Otherwise those first two weeks I would be sitting here falling asleep off and on throughout the day.

Thank you guys! Yes that's pretty much what I do, just nod on and off all day lol

I'm use to being up and on the move with my four children and being in school full time, and I am just struggling. But I have always heard it always gets worse before it gets better and I just need to ride this out and I'll be back to normal in no time.

I had my surgery 6/1 and I’m still very fatigued. I realized I’m still doing too much and my Fluid intake hasn’t been up to par. Make sure you REST REST REST. Your body has just undergone a major surgery. It’s going to take time for it to heal and recover. As hard as it is, believe me I KNOW, try to be patient. It does get better.
