Im actually 14 days post of today, to be honest, yesterday was the day I
really felt I had enery since the surgery, but dont worry fatigue in
normal. It may taye you a bit longer to get over that hump than other,
everyone is different. Just remember take your vitamins, get as much of
your fluids as you can, and dont skip meals.

Completely normal! Please please please be aware you just had MAJOR
surgery, you are going to NEED time to heal and time to rest!!!! It will
be about 30 days before you get any semblence of energy back!!!! Walk when
you can, rest when your body tells you to, and make sure you take all your
vitamins, drink your water, and get in your protien per your doc! Good
luck, God bless, and welcome to the losing side!

Totally normal. Surgery takes it's toll on you as well as not consuming
the calories you are used to. Just rest when you can. It won't always be
like this.

I had my RNY on Oct. 22 and feel great except for some fatigue. I am much
better than I was but still take a nap every afternoon. Of course I am 64
so that might be part of the problem but I can live with it. Do as everyone
and your doc say - water, protein, rest, etc. and things will improve - you
are barely over the anesthesia, LOL. Welcome to the "other
side".

Yes it is normal, you just had MAJOR surgery. It took me a good 2 weeks or
better before I started to feel better. It was around the time I started on
full liquids, when I was getting some nutrition. Just relax, if you are
tired right now you body probably needs the rest to heal. Take care and
good luck.

Oh so normal. 21 days out I thought I could do the body pump exercise at
Golds -- yeah right -- took me 3 days to recover. So being tired is
normal. Although your outside is healed your inside is still healing and
removing the anathesia (sp) from you system is going on. So for now, just
walk. After that little exercise at Gold's that's exactly what I did for
the next few weeks -- walk and stationary bike. Yeah there would be days
I'd push the envelope then it would take me at least 2 days to recover.
Nothing is wrogn, what you are feeling is perfectly normal.

I am one month post-op today and for the first 3weeks I felt terrible. I
feel pretty good now but after 2 weeks out no one could have told me that i
would ever feel this good again!!! So keep your head up and get lost of
rest and try to get your protien and vitamins in like the others said. And
welcome to the Losers Bench.

I felt the same way after surgery. I started taking a BComplex vitamin
from Wal-Mart! I could tell a difference - within a week. I had more
energy, and it did not increase my appetite. Try it. They are only $5 or
$6...Well worth it.

It can take 2 to 3 months to get your energy back. Right now your body is
going thru a big trama.
