Energy Level???

Hi, I've begun my medical testing and am just waiting to get a surgery date.  My big question is, after my surgery will my energy level go up?  At this point and time my energy level is zero.

Mine did, but it took a couple of months. I was tired and blah feeling for awhile, but then I started feeling wonderful.

Good luck

Prior to surgery, i worked a sedentary job and then went home ate dinner and watched TV until I went to bed. This was my life and I had absolutely no energy. I felt weak, tired and semi-dead. I slept at least 9 hours per night and still was tired all day long. 

After surgery I noticed that my energy changed immediately. I wasn't doing anything different but I was not eating bread and drinking sugary drinks. I believe the huge amount of water (80-110 oz per day) was flushing out the toxins in my body and allowing me to feel better.

A month after surgery I began working out. At first, i was very tired but I wasn't weak tired I was wore out because my body had never had any physical fitness before. I pushed through that fatigue  and kept working out and about 1 month later the fatigue after working out stopped and I noticed a new energy. 

Now I work out between 1.5-2 hours; 5 days a week. I am on the elliptical for 40 minutes and I weight train for 20-30 minutes and then I swim. I have so much energy I can barely sit thru a 30 minute sitcom without commercials. I am so antsy, I have trouble staying in bed for more than 6 hours. 

Has the surgeon sent you to a pulmonologist? If so do you have sleep apnea? That is a big reason so many obese people have no energy. My husband who is not obese has it and if he doesnt sleep with his mask on he is tired all day. 

Good Luck!

Mine took a good six months to get back above the point I was at pre-op. It seemed to take longer than most, but by one year I had the same evergy level I had in my 20's.

Thanks everyone for the responses.  Yes, I have been diagnosed with sleep apnea and the cpap machine doesn't seem to matter one way or another.  I just sit here with zero energy all the time.  My mind wants to get up and do stuff but my body just seems to say no.  I honestly hope all of this changes.

 

Hello

Got surgery june 25th and the energy was a problem prior and is still a problem. I had sleep apnea but really lightly. After losing some weight I started sleeping. And yes some energy came back. I wasn't exhausted anymore. But was I still tired? Yes, really easily.

I now exer**** and have to take weeks off exercising often because I get drained quickly. Than the energy comes back up and I try to do as much as I can and then drained again.

It is worse when on my period

And I do not mean tired to sleep, Because sleep doesn't give me THAT KIND of energy I am lacking. But I don't know what it is! It is my body that gets tired.
