Around the middle of the day I get really tired. I mean really tired. I don't take a multi vitamin do you think this could be the problem? Does anyone else have this problem? Any suggestions?

Thanks

How long has it been since you have had the band put in? I was very tired too, Once I started my Vitamins it really helped

You definitely need a multi--preferably one designed for banded patients. DEFINITELY.

It may not be the cause of your current issues (for those, I'd check with a doctor--persistent fatigue can mean many things--or nothing), but it really WILL affect your energy level in the long run.

Yes not taking a vitamin could be your problem. I feel off the "wagon" for a week and stop taking my vitamin and it certainly affected me. Also make sure you are getting your protein. I am a huge fan of at least 1 protein drink a day. The real stuff from GNC or so. Not a slimfast or similar shake.

you may be low in iron. the multivitamin would help with that. I was somewhat anemic before surgery and now after surgery am moreso. I can tell if I miss a day or two with my iron.

My surgeon instructs all his patients to take 2(!) adult, chewable Centrum a dayand two Viactive calcium chews (yum). Add a good vitamin and get some extra sleep and see if you feel better.

I take a Flintstone's multi vitamin and they taste good. also a vita -C

Are you taking your vitamin B12? I find that gives me a lot of energy.
