17 days post op
I was sleeved on aug. 13, and everything has gone along just fine. I'm able to get my fluids and protein in and have been walking twice a day for 30 minutes at a time. My only problem is my energy level. I feel like I could just sit on the couch all day long. Anyone else experience this? How long might this last? I was very active per- surgery and this is bumming me out! P.s. - I am done with full fluids and have moved on to soft foods with no issues...

Same here. I walk my children to and from school. Its a 30 min. walk. After I come back home, I literally could go back to bed. I am still napping in the afternoon 1x day. for 30m-1 hr. I hope it does get better, since I got cleared for cardio & have no extra energy to actually do it yet! Good luck
I too got sleeved on Aug 13 and i find that I have been having a surge of energy that Im painting and cleaning and walking daily like a lunatic. I do find that I work best when Im hydrated! if i dont get all my water im dragging ass. Maybe im nesting like those pregnant woman do before the baby since i know i have one more week before i return to the old ball and chain called work. Im mentally preparing myself for my old routine to return soon. PS i am done with full fluids too and skipped puree... are u pureeing ?
Thanks all! Makes me feel better to know there are others in the same boat! I just keep telling myself to do everything the doctor and his staff have told me to do and hang on! I'll keep pushing the fluids, which haven't been a problem so far, and enjoying the soft foods... I appreciate all of your responses.
8/13 here also. I have about the same energy I had pre-op, but on my work days (only tues and thurs right now), I am more tired when I get home. On the up side though, a week out, I'd get tired doing grocery or Wal Mart shopping trips. That's not a problem now.
My problem is I'm stuck -- no weight loss going on here! I initially lost 12 or so pounds right after surgery. Then went a few days with no loss. Then lost 5 lbs in 2 days. Gained 1.5 of that right back, like it wasn't even real. THEN days with no more loss. Today, maybe 1 lb down. A 2nd check of the scale didn't confirm it. Waaaahhhhh!!!
