Fatigue
I am not familiar with the vertical sleeve but if I am not mistaken, it is similar to the RNY with regard to the diet for the 1st several weeks (liquids, pureed, soft, and then regular diet). I know for me and the RNY, I was very exhausted with no energy for the 1st 5 weeks. I barely could take a shower and wash my hair without getting very weak. But after 5 weeks when you get to start on soft foods, my energy level picked up drastically. So, usually when you can go back to eating somewhat, you can expect your energy level to pick up. I will say that was one of the worst "side effects" right after surgery. I was expecting to have surgery and feel better and have more energy than before surgery and then to go through not having any enrgy was disappointing. But it will get better.
