Hello all! If interested, I started us a June 2013 Sleevers group so that we can all go through this process together! Hope you will all join and let's lift each other up.

Thanks,

Sleeved June 10' date=' and am down 42 pounds. I don't feel different (aside from pants feeling big) or think I look any different.

June folks, has anyone encountered pretty intense fatigue since surgery?

Hope everyone is well![/quote']

I was VERY exhausted last week and was sleeved 6/17. Wasn't sure what it was, but seem to be back to normal this week. Last week I felt like I was dragging!

I am exhausted and I force myself to do everything I did before. I need naps often.

Wish i could take nap, i just beber could wont sleep be up before i know it, plus i wont sleep at night if i happen to doze off...that would be nice if i could just learn to relax and do nothing Long enough i may learn to nap...:-)

Isn't it funny how we all are different. I can sleep with no problems and have been since coming out of the hospital. If I don't get 9hrs I'm crap for the day! I hope everyone who is having trouble sleeping gets over it soon

Doing well thanks I too have a lot of weight to lose, that pre op diet was rough but I didn't cheat either. What kind of diet are you on now?

Hi. I am trying to do a low carb, high Protein diet, sort of like Atkins. I try to stay under 35 carbs a day, of course sometimes I go a little higher, but 35 seems to be a good fit for me. I am also getting all my protein from actual food, no Protein shakes, bars or powders. This is just my personal preference. My calories a day range from 800 to 1100, which at first I was freaking out about, cause I thought it was way too much compared to others, but my nutritionist said that was ok, cause I am eating a lot of protein. I only eat 3-3.5 oz per meal and about 1.5-2 oz for my Snacks. My surgeon recommended eating 3 meals a day and 2-3 snacks per day, eating every 2-3 hours...I think this helps eliminate the urge to graze.

What type of diet have you been following...I see so many different paths people take on here, I guess everyone has to find the right fit for them.

If you use myfitnesspal you can look up my food diary and add me as a friend...anyone else reading this post is welcome to add me as well. My username is blackcloudkygirl.

I was sleeve 6/03 and also experience fatigue. My Nut told me to increase my Protein to 100-120 gms of protein since I'm 6'0". It's been difficult for me to get in the extra cause sometimes I fall asleep by 7.

I started taking sublingual vitamin B 12 and it so helped with the fatigue

Yes. My nut said to take the B-Complex with B-12 so that knocks out two in one and one less thing you have to worry about! Plus it has a little more B-12 than we need and it does give you a boost!

Aline I got them at Walmart. I would send a picture but I don't know how to do that. I take 5000 mcg daily. It was about 7 bucks and it is 2 month supply. The brand is spring Valley
