I was wondering what you guys are doing for energy or what you have done for energy. I'm 6 weeks out and I just have no energy. I am exercising. Walking 4 times a week. My babies take all my energy. Did you take something just to get you through your work out? Like 5 hour Energy?

I was low on energy for a while. Some days wouldn't be as bad as others. I wasn't taking Iron & B12 and once I started, it seems to have really made a difference. Are you taking any Iron or B12? If not I'd suggest trying both of those.

I own an antique store that I work at on the weekends, and for a while I was so tired and had no energy I was wondering if I could keep it up.

I agree on trying an iron supplement if you can. I know I felt like my butt was dragging all the time because I wasn't able to get my iron supplement down without feeling nauseous. I switched to a chewable and now my energy level has gone WAY up!

i think my doctor is against takin suppliments in advance.

when i asked him he told me to only take them after the blood test and only if there is something low or missing.

Hi tdriver,

I think Iron is prescribed particularly for women, so that may be a part of it. I think Calcium may be the same way. :001_tongue:

Thanks for the advice. I just bought me a chewable iron. I hope this helps. Midwest girl your profile pic looks great. Congrats on the weight loss.

Hopefully the iron does the trick! It only took a couple days for me to feel a nice change in energy. :001_tongue: And thank you very much! I didn't even notice how different my face looked until one of my friends showed me that picture! :blushing: I can see the change in your pic too! Keep up the good work, girl!

are you getting enough sleep? because i always feel tired when i don't get my 8 hour sleep. so maybe that's what is happening. try it - hope it works!!!:001_tongue:

Mary, no I don't get enough sleep. I have a 4 month old baby. Last night I took my iron pill and my baby slept all night for the first time. I actually got 8 hours of uninterupted sleep last night. Its been a long time since that happened. I feel like a completely different woman!!!

Have you ever tested for sleep apnea? I had no idea I had it until the end of January. I can sleep for 8 hours and be as tired when I wake up as I was when I went to bed. I am doing my CPAP trial tomorrow night. I am hoping that when I have lost most of my extra weight, I will be able to wean off the machine. I used it briefly during my first sleep study and loved the extra oxygen.

New babies are a challenge tho : ) Hopefully the iron and baby sleeping all night will do the trick!

I am almost 8 weeks out and am sleeping 8 hours and still so exhausted. I need to check out my vitamins. Thanks for posting this info.
