Is your Iron okay? I was so exhausted so took someone's advice on here and took an Iron supplement... Woke up the next morning completely refreshed!

Wishing you luck and energy! :)

I was sleeved a week after you and I'm having the fatique issue too. I started with extra Iron 2 days ago but so far nothing. I do some housework and get so tired I take a break, over and over. I'm disappointed in how little I get done. Monday I go back to work, hopefully that will help perk me up.

took about 6 weeks for me. Sometimes I still wake up tired though. Try the sublingual B12. Its helps.

I am pre-surgery. I thought I would have more energy after surgery and weight loss. :(

I am 3 weeks post op and I have been struggling with fatigue too. I also caught an upper respiratory infection in the hospital and that impaired my rest and sleep for the first week post-op. I talked with my Dr's office and they suggested boosting my Protein from 60 grams to 90 grams. That seems to have helped a little, but like you I can't even think about going back to work in this condition. I hope the fatigue eases in the next few days.... good luck and let us know if you find any of the suggestions helpful.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
