I had my gastric bypass surgery on 17 September; I am now six weeks post op & to be completely honest I'm doing rubbish.

I've got no energy at all & I've recently added an additional Iron supplement in with my Calcium & Vitamins A - Z, but it hasn't made any difference at all. Due to my lack of energy its putting a real strain on my relationship & I'm even struggling with work, as I've had so much time off this year with this & gallbladder removal & infections.

I feel that my Partner is being really selfish & doesn't understand what I'm going through & especially what my body is going through, but has been through as well.

I'm doing okay with my fluids & they are being increased however; I am doing awful with my Protein & my dietician doesn't want me on Protein shakes, she wants me on food.

I'm so flat on the floor with depression & all of this has started since I've had this surgery, but I genuinely feel like giving up on life itself & my anti depressants are no longer working.

I'm seeing my GP tomorrow so I'm praying he can help me get out of this black hole.

Since my op there was 3 weeks my weight didn't move; now I'm weighing 11 stone 11lbs, but due to servere depression there are days I won't eat at all & only drink.

Please can someone help me or advise me; does this pass & will my energy levels come back eventually, will I always feel this tired & worthless?

Sorry for the essay.

Kindest Regards

Thank you Dave. You are very knowledgable with actual scientific fact and not "goggled" so called "facts". You are also post op (as am I almost 9 years) which makes your posts of more value for actual life after Bariatric surgery.
