how long before you started to feel normal

for an open rny they say 6-8 weeks but im going nuts with being weak and tired so how long did it take you to get normal ???

What do you mean normal? As far as food it took me a long time. I exercised and walked alot so I tended to feel normal right around 6 weeks because I was able to get so much walking in. I also went on a trip to Vegas when I was 6-7 weeks out which helped me a lot. I take B-12 which helps with my energy level. When do you go back to the dr again? Part of my problem is that B-12 because there are days even though I am 18 months out there I am extremely tired. I just have to keep plugging away. But there are days where I have enough energy for my DH and I. Suzanne 300/152

What are you eating? kp

did he answer you? usta

Curt, I am 8 weeks out and just now getting my energy back very slowly. Suzanne is right, if you can, get out there and walk as much as you possibly can. It will help a great deal. Hope your feeling stronger soon, stay tough. Phyllis Gilbert

normal ??? you mean there's hope for me yet? but I had lapband....... so I guess that'll be my excuse from now on why Im not normal... I diidnt have RNY ...LOL hope you feel better soon.

Hi Curt, I'm 8 months out~all I can say is nothing will ever be normal again~and I'm glad for that! Seriously I started getting my energy at about 5 weeks out and have been going like the energizer bunny ever since. Are you getting your protein, water, and vitamins in on a regular basis? Are you eating enough to prevent hibernation syndrome? are you getting any exercise in? I find the more I exercise, the more energy I have. Hope you are feeling better soon. God blesss you, Annette
