Give it time! My doc told me the fatigue would last approx 2 months . . . right now I'm almost 3 months and I've never ever felt better.

It took me 8 weeks to feel human again, and then move over I was on the run and have never felt better in my life.

Hi, it took me three months to feel "human" again. The book the nutrionist gives you says you'll have good days and bad days. Boy was she right.Good news is the bad days become less frequent. You will have energy and feel wonderful again.The rapid weight loss will make you feel like crap, it's only temporary.Good luck.

My energy also did not return until three-four months post op and like the others, I feel great now. Even helped my hubby cut a tree down and haul it off today. Couldn't have done that last year.

Hi there! I remember wondering that as well. I could tell a huge difference when I started to eat pureed foods, and then it just increased as I ate more solids. I am almost 7 weeks out and have felt back to normal since week 4 if my memory serves me correctly. Just relax and know it will come, your body needs the rest to recoop. Plus, think of how little food your'e getting. It really does a number on our bodies. Plus all the anesthesia you still have in your body will also make you feel that way. Good Luck, be patient, it will come back.
