Most people I have spoken to that had the RNY all said that they really weren't back to their 'normal' energy level until 6-8 weeks out. I would give it a couple more weeks and just take breaks when you need them.

Thanks for the cheesy grin Val! Yes, I am getting my B-Vitamin. There's 125 mcg (2083%) in my multivitamin (Optisource). I hope it's better soon too! Overall my quality of life is great, so I'm not complaining, just hoping the energy comes back soon.

I'm 5 weeks out from Lap RNY. I'm feeling good and am tolerating most foods. I'm getting my 70g + of protein in every day, and usually meet my 64 oz water/fluid goal. I'm walking at least 30 minutes a day, 4-5 days a week. My problem? I'm absolutely exhausted!!! No energy whatsoever, and I feel like I've been hit by a ton of bricks. I get up at a decent time, go for a walk, and then have to take a nap. This afternoon I went shopping and after I was out for about 1-2 hours, I could just feel the exhaustion coming on again. Just curious if anyone else is feeling the same way?

Hi Kerry! Welcome.

Hi there. I had proximal RNY on 10-26-07 and had my first 2-week post op appointments yesterday. Seems like a lot of people have them at 1-week, but my surgeon does 2-week, 3-month, 6-month, and yearly after that unless I feel like I need to be seen between them. I'm doing really well, too. Have felt great since I can home the day after surgery and only took my pain meds that one night, then Tylenol for two days and nothing since. I got to start soft foods and pureed meats as of last night. So far I've tried cotttage cheese with a spoon of spaghetti sauce and a tiny sprinkling of fat-free mozzarella cheese on it - yummy!! - and a scrambled egg this morning. Pouchy did well with both, so I'm a happy girl today!! I hope you keep doing well. This is a pretty exciting time right now getting started on real foods and progressing onto the next steps!
