Tired after 6 or 7 hours

[Krstal02]

Day 38 and I still feel exhausted. I have been on vitamins since Phase II which are helping I think but geesh!!! My stamina is low. I work 7:30-4:00pm Mon - Fri. My 2:00 daily I feel like I could pass out.

Your body is working through a major calorie deficit thereby an energy deficit. Much less is coming in than is going out. Your body will adjust and you will regain energy and balance.

Are you reaching your liquid and protein goals every day? Sounds like you may not be getting enough nutrition.

At that point I was dizzy a lot too. It took me may be three months to be ok. I was not drinking enough for sure. Try to increase your water intake it could help.
My surgeon did notice several times I was dehydrated, but at that time I was in a tropical climate, so it was hard to drink enough, the weather was burning hot.

Stay hydrated and get your protein in. You will need more sleep than usual for a while. You also need to get some vitamin B12. Hang in there. It will get better.

I can't imagine working out of my home after this surgery. January 11th is my 3 month post op date and it took me this long to regain SOME energy. Good luck!

I’m 5 weeks post-op. I too am tired all the time, but I know it’s because I’m not getting the protein or calories I need. (I’m at 500ish per day). I use vitamin patches and just started taking Vitamin B12 as well. I also got flavored water with electrolytes. This feeling is quite familiar to me though. I had hypermesis with two pregnancies and couldn’t even keep water down. :/

I'd say it took me about 3 months to get back to my full energy level. Hang in there! It gets better!

Please check back in and check in with either your Primary Health Care Provider (or who you would visit e.g if you had a chest infection) "Down Under" we just call them "your Doctor" i.e. based in General Practice , or 'your GP' ie.e General Practitioner, or your Baraiatric Surgeon.

I was fit, but obese with co-morbidities, at time of gastric sleeve surgery (if you want to, my blog is on http://www.bandingtogether.com.au, same user name).
I, however, am not in good health. I have (diagnosed) debilitating Myalgic Encephalitis (ME) , Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS), or as termed in the USA 'CFIDS" (Chronic Fatigue Immune Dysfunction Syndrome) and I get FIERCE Post Exertional Malaise - this is visible on observing me - I either go observable either super pale (and I look like a freakin' ghost first thing in the morning!), or I get recognisable 'fever' hot spots on my face - weirdly, this can just be one sided , + diagnosed Fibromyalgia , + diagnosed Complex Regional Pain Syndrome in my left hand/halfway down my left arm. Diagnosed osteoarthritis in both hips. Diagnosed chronic sprained ankle left side. Can't make this *shit* up.

However, I was massively under pressure from family to get my house/home/gardens etc presentable i.e. 'show-room' back in 2015 for "putting on the market" i.e selling . I was moving furniture less than four days post-op. And this was in the heat of Perth - south eastern from there - Western Australian summer. I then underwent a ghastly year physically, emotionally etc. And this continued. I was verbally and emotionally abused from all of my living family members, even though I did the best I could. APPARENTLY on one of the advertising pics A bed linen was crooked! I got BLASTED for this.

Now, four years later, I am in very poor health.

Nothing to do with obesity, weight loss surgery, but due to aging (I am now facing 56 years old - and wondering how that happened!), post-menopausal, and with having ME/CFIDS, Fibromyalgia, moderate sleep Apnoea, Severe Upper Airway Resistance Syndrome, Vestibular disease etc. *Crikey* Imagine if I HADN'T had WLS! Looking back to prior, I think that I would have been dead years ago.
