Exreme Tiredness

Even though you had just it incisions, internally, you had MAJOR surgery, so it is understandable that you are very tired... your body is trying to do a lot of healing and it is having to try to do it with VERY little nutrition.  It will get better.  Getting in more protein will give you more energy, as will making sure you get enough B12 and your iron levels are ok.

As someone else said, though, if it continues to be so extreme beyond the first month, contact your surgeon.

I had surgery the same day as you, and I was not prepared to be soo tired, in fact I had a total hysterectaemy a few years back and I dont recall it knocking me on my butt as much ! but w/ my RNY all I did the 1st 5/6 days was sleep, I could litterally fall asleep while doing my spirometer breathing exercises.but that said, it is slowly getting better, I can now walk about 10/15 minutes @ a slow pace and even though I need to rest when I get back home I'm not falling asleep afterwards.  I just try to do a little more each day and if I cant I tell myself that its ok,  also I have seen several posts that say it takes about 6 wks so i'm going w/ that. also I know someone who had the sleeve and she told me that around 3 months is when you really feel great. so that is what I'm ging with.

 Hang in there, as others have previously mentioned they felt better by week six, this I completely agree.  I went back to work after three weeks, and it still to me a couple of weeks to get back into the swing of things.

Now my problem, I find myself forgetting things easier...not as sharp as I used to be.  I blame it on the lack of food.  I am working on getting more nutrients in my body through food, I do not like feeling like a forgetful person.

Anyone else have that problem too?
