Happy New Year Everyone!

Hi Everybody, I'm home and feeling okay, I had open RNY on Dec. 20th and I thought I would have much more energy by now. I know I'm not getting all my protein but everything else seems to be fine. Just feel sleepy and tired all the time. Any sugestions how to get my energy back?

Hi, Sandy, I too had open RNY and it took me about 4 weeks before I really started feeling good. Remember you have had major surgery and it takes time for your body to heal. I think it was the fourth week out that I didn't feel like I had to have a nap every afternoon. One of the things that my doctor recommended was walking at the mall and initially I could only walk about half the mall and then gradually I built up so that I could do the whole mall. One of the reasons he recommended walking the mall is because there are places to stop and rest (which I did frequently when I started). Good luck to you. It will get better. Virginia
