Low Energy

[wyoungs 0]

Maybe I am posting this in the wrong spot, if so I apologize. I had my band done in July 2010, all is going great. Exercising good and often. My problem is really being tierd all the time. I have heard this is normal? Any thoughts? If so i would like some suggestions, thanks to all.

Are you getting enough Protein, Vitamins and Water? Fiber and exercise?

I actually feel better and more energetic as I lose (even in the beginning), so don't know if it's 'normal' or not. I imagine as you lose a few more pounds you'll start to feel great!

I felt SOO tired all the time. I went had some blood work done and my Iron levels were really low.. I started taking over the counter iron and that made the BIGGEST difference!!!!!

How long have you been feeling tired?

Are you doing an extremely low carb diet? Are you counting Protein grams? Drinking plenty of Water?

Getting enough rest and sleep?

I was feeling that tired and so out of it and I started taking B12 and it has made the world of difference. A friend of mine had the gastric (we have the same surgeon) and she just told me that I can ask for a prescription for the B12 shots and give them to myself. She also said she knows that it helped her get to her goal quicker too. I go back to my bariatric doctor on November 30th and hopefully I can switch to the shot instead of the pill. Hope this helps!

I actually just talked with my surgeon today about this. I am having the same problem. I am going to go have some labs done, an Iron level, B12 level, Vitamin D leve, and a blood count (hemoglobin). Maybe check to see if you can get some blood work done.

I'm having the same problem. I have no energy at all.

i would love to exercise as much as possible but I just have no energy at all, so I will be checking this thread for suggestions and I will ask my surgeons office when I go for my 2nd fill.
