Am I the only one???

Had my sleeve done June 10th and everything seems to be doing great except for one thing--I am so exhausted and weak. I see others saying they have so much energy and I can hardly walk across the room. Mention this to doc during my 1week  check up and he said it was due to food withdrawals which is a good thing-showing I am staying with plan. Suppose to have 60 g of protein-mine has been running around 55g and close to 600 cals a day. Getting anywhere from 55 to 60 oz of water a day, Since my surgery I have lost around 28 lbs. Just wondering if it is normal to feel so tired and weak??

What you're doing sounds pretty good. Maybe you need more carbs or more activity. 

Good luck!

Sounds like your numbers are good.  So it's probably the anesthesia.  People react to it differently, but it's not uncommon to take several weeks for its effects to wear off completely.  Plus, your body is healing, and will be for a while.  It's putting its energy into that, haha.  Take it easy and let your energy return on its own time. 

BTW, 28 lbs, woohoo!

Your body needs protein and water to heal.  Try getting your protein between 60-80 and your water to a bare minimum of 64 oz, preferably more like 96.

Exactly what GwenMo said.

I'm guessing you're experiencing the lack of fast carb energy and you have yet to get used to using your own fat stores as energy.  It gets better!

Thank you everybody for words of encouragement!!! This site is such a blessing and feel as if I have a whole new set of friends I can turn too!!

I had my surg on the 11th still very sore and tired. I have only lost 10 pounds since surgery. my doc said its normal to be tired at this point. 

Your still only 2 weeks out... being tired is normal you need to heal.... make sure you get all your water and protien in and try to exercise it will give you more energy.  Walk a bit ... get out!!!! It's beautiful out summers here... that may help...good luck !!!! :-)

I'm 5 mos out, and I still feel weak at times. Water perks me back up. 

But as examples, carrying a laundry basket upstairs, and sometimes just a shower, wipes me out.
