Had surgery July 29. Everything has gone smooth and great. No food issues, or intolerances. Feel good other then I am soooooo tired all the time. Is this normal? I know it hasn't been that long, but I just feel like I should have more energy? This heat doesn't help. .I take all my vitamins, and no meds adjustments. Losing weight at a descent pace. Tow of the main incision points are almost healed but still a little weepy but not infected. I just want to know if what I am feeling is normal or weird. Thanks to all in advance! Have a great long weekend.

I'm almost 6 months post-op and still waiting for the energy to come. I discussed with the nurse practitioner at my appointment last week to make sure my blood work was normal.

Have you called your centre to double-check with them? Perhaps there is something low in your blood. But it could just be your body healing slowly. It was a pretty major surgery as the NP reminded me last week.

Enjoy your long weekend as well!

It took me a couple of months before I felt energetic again. Now I have more energy than I did before the surgery.

It took 8 weeks before I noticed a big improvement in my energy levels. Every day should be a little better :)

I'm 8wks out.  I have also had no sickness or intolerance or food issues.  The first few weeks I had a ton of energy.   The past 3-4 I find I get really tired in the afternoon and I have NEVER been the type to require a nap.  I am sleeping well in the night.  Wondered if maybe I wasnt  eating enough. My family dr randomly requested some bloodwork last wk- said he'd contact me if he saw anything of concern.....havent heard from him.  I'm glad he did as my bariatric clinic doesn't run blood for 3mths.  I just think my fatigue is based on my low caloric intake. ( and I'm sure this heat doesn't help matters)

I was the type that could survive on 5 hours a night, no problem. The first few months were hellish for me.. I needed naps after work plus 8+ hours of sleep a night. Now, I'm fine without the naps but I do need to maintain a decent sleep schedule. Every week that passes should get better, though, just make sure to stay hydrated.
