While I see a lot of people have so much energy I sort of feel the same as I did pre sleeve. I actually feel even more tired. I get more bursts of energy than before, but most of the time I am really fatigued. I am in month 7 and still probably eating 700 to 1000 calories a day. It is the winter so that of course will make me more tired than normal, but I get enough sleep and just can't seem to perk up in the AM. I don't drink coffee or take in any caffine. I am wondering if anyone else has felt this way and maybe what their doctor said if you got it checked out.

Will do a little research, but I supposed I really need my blood work taken to point out any problems.

I really am not taking the Iron like a should and don't get much iron from food.

But I am not taking in much of anything so what could it be

My surgeon's office do not get blood work done until the l year mark. However, I did call my PCP and he ordered some blood tests. The test came back with excellent results. The only negative is I'm 102 in LDL and he wants me down to 100 LDL. It was much work about 2.5 months ago. LOL. It is important to take our iron, vitamins, especially B-12 and B complexes. Good luck and best wishes.

I strongly recommend starting Iron and taking all other supplements your program recommends. I am about one month ahead of you and I got my full energy back between months 4 and 5. I actually have more energy now that pre-surgery. No suprise since I not dragging around an extra 100 lbs. everywhere I go!

I take Ferrimin 150 a couple of times a week. It has a stool softener built in, which is helpful with iron. And the type of iron it contains is absorbed more easily than the type that is is most iron supplements.

I take my vitamins, but with the whole don't take calcium and iron at the same time I just said screw them both. I know, not good. I will take iron for a couple of weeks and forgo the calcium since I eat a lot of cheese I will see if that helps. I want a nap like everyday!

I take the calcium with Breakfast and dinner and then have the Iron just before I go to bed.
