Super low energy.

[Greensleeves]

I'm super low energy. I feel flat and drained like I haven't slept or eaten in days. Is this super low energy level normal 11 days post-op? When does it start to pass? I'm getting in at least 90 grams of protein and have been close to liquid goals save for today.

It sounds pretty normal to me. Remember your body is going through a lot right now.

Yes, it is normal. While some might bounce back quickly, I am not one of those. So I can relate and remember how tired I get after having any kind of surgery.

I had much more energy the first few days than I had the week after surgery. So I agree with the others, you will have ups and downs. Just remember, water is more important than protein. Sip, sip, sip!

Ditto on this. Please remember you just had MAJOR surgery, and a huge reduction in calories. I had the same thing, and it took my PCP who also just had wls to remind me of that. You'll get energy back, maybe slowly, maybe in spurts, but you are continually making progress. Good luck!

Thanks for your replies. They helped alleviate quite a bit of concern.
