Tired, Very Tired

[notime 340]

I have been sleeved for six weeks and am having trouble getting through a full day without being totally exhausted. Is this exhaustion normal or could it be my diet. My diet consists of at least 64 oz fluids, 60 grams Protein, 600-700 calories. I take 2 children's Vitamins daily, Calcium, B12. Any suggestions on what I am doing wrong?

The onlything I would do is take adult chewable vitamins they have more of what we need

I have been tired too at 6 wks postop. I really have to push myself to do even simple things. For instance, went grocery shopping today, and it's a good thing my husband was with me. I got so tired I had to sit down while he checked out. I was exhausted and dragged myself to the car. For me, I think I need to start really exercising to build stamina. One thing, does your Vitamin contain Iron? It should.

Are you also taking your Iron and B50? those are two really important ones. I am just over two weeks out and have the energy of a dishrag lol. I am getting my Vitamins down, but the Protein is a challenge - everything tastes terrible.

Hang in there - hopefully we will all be bursting with energy soon

I worry about the same thing. I go back to work at 7 weeks out and I have a very fast paced job. Prior to pre-op diet I drank coffee or upped my B-12 that helped a lot. I think the body just runs out of fuel on such a low calorie intake.
