I hear ya.  Its so hard to get it right.  If I take one bite too much, even if its what I measured out, I end up with stomach cramps and vomiting for 30 minutes, then I need to nap.  I'm so afraid to eat out or around anyone.

I had the same experience late last week, I ate just a little too much and felt sick and bloated for about 2 hours. I finally threw up and I almost immediately felt better. Lesson learned with portion control. :(

For me...sometime between 4-6 months. I was able to walk for exercise immediately after but bending over in yoga, I would faint!

Too tired and too weak to run, weight lift, or do step aerobics until between 4-6 months. Literally, one day was walking for excercise and my step had too much spring (like I was putting in the effort to move 275lbs when I was just 225 lbs) and then I  knew I was strong again and time to go back to the gym.

 

As far as the calorie situation...stick with what was prescribed.

 

I was really tired too in the beginning. I slept A LOT (like 8-12 hours ) in the beginning. Usually, I only need 6 hours of sleep a night.

We go to bed around 11 at night, and usually wake up around 7, but we both wake up a lot through the night.  My husband has apnea, and I sleep lightly because of fear of him and having to wake up him to start breathing all the time.  So when its just me and the kids at home I take advantage of a good afternoon nap.

I am glad to read that I am not the only one who feels run down. I am a little over two weeks since my RNY procedure and I just want to sleep all the time. I work at home and force myself to stay up after the work day is over. I hope it will pass.

I'm from Tampa!  Who was your doc/hospital and when was your date?  Thank God I work from home as well.  It makes it so much easier when I need to take a break cause I am just exhausted or if my brain just needs a moment.

My doctor was Dr. Micheal Murr at TGH, the surgery went really well. Had no complications, very thankful. Feeling a bit of my energy come back since I have transitioned in the the pureed diet portion, guess I just needed some meat protein, even if it was ground up. :)

Ground meat has helped me sooooo much!  I have been able to do more, however I am paying for it each time it seems.  I was going to get my surgery originally done by Dr. Murr but my mother lived really close to Palms of Pasadena hospital and I really liked my interview with Dr. Rehnke.  Both are awesome docs.

I saw Dr. Rehnke about 5 years ago when I considered having gastric bypass done. But I got laid off and lost my insurance. This time my primary doc recommended Dr. Murr and TGH, after not listening to him the first time and having a terrible time with the lap band. I got an infection and the band had to come out. I stopped being stubborn and went to TGH.
