I don't know what to do. I'm doing (almost) everything I think I'm supposed to do since my surgery. I eat a healthy diet getting my 50-70 grams of protein daily. I drink close to 64 oz of water as well. I take my vitamins as directed. I exercise 3-4 times a week but I am still pooped. I'm more tired than I can ever recall... mentally, emotionally and physically. At the suggestion of my doctor I've tried increasing my b12 and b-complex vitamins but I'm still tired. The nurse said that they don't typically do blood work at the 2 month mark but the want to know what the cause may be. Also, I recently began experiencing an all over body ache. Some might describe it as flu-like. I have no other symptoms. The combination of chronic fatigue and body aches brought me to tears today. I had a melt down. I'm usually a tough cookie but for some reason today I was rather emotional. I think that I can handle the aches and pains far easier than the exhaustion. I'm curious to know if what I am experiencing is "normal"? If not normal, has anyone else experienced fatigue/exhaustion and body aches at this stage (2 months post-op)? If so please share your story. How do/did you handle it and does it get better with time?

Well I have a couple questions for you.

Do you joints ache?

Do you have a sore throat?

Does you family have a history of arthritis?

Do you have really good days of no pain or fatigue followed by a sore throat and the pain?

Are you have trouble concentrating on things?

Have you become forgetful?

Answer those question and I will give you my opinion.

My joints do ache.

My throat is not sore.

My mom has arthrits in her knees and some of her fingers.

My body aches and fatigue have been pretty consistant/constant but no sore throat.

I do have trouble concentrating.

I have noticed that I am more forgetful.

I would guess that your body is adjusting to the low calories, I know even when I diet, I get achy...If not that then can you possibly be depressed, there is a post surgical depression that some get, including myself, but you can also be mourning your previous life that used food as a coping mechanism...your not able to do that anymore...Im sorry your going thru this, I probably will too, cuz I did with the sleeve and now GB...so im kind of expecting it...good luck, I hope you feel better soon!

Thank you. I look forward to my next doctor's appointment. I have plenty of questions for my doctor.

Good luck, Im sure you will feel better soon...

Get better soon

Thank you.

Feel better..any concerns...call your surgeon!
