I don't know why but the past couple of days I barely want to get out of bed. I know I'm not depressed... I just feel physically tired and unmotivated. my eating is on point~ I eat mostly whole foods, meet my 80gm of Protein and stay around 1200 calories. Most days I get 10,000 steps and include 45-60 minutes of activity. My weight loss is slow but steady. BUT I'M frickin tired!!!! Anyone else experience this?

Honestly if you don't have the flu or something making you sick, I think you might be a little down in the dumps whether you believe it or not. I have had bouts of depression many years and I know that when I hide under those covers and want to sleep, that it is depression. It usually passes in a few days, but many times I needed medication. Good luck. Life gets us down sometimes, even though we think we are okay!

I appreciate your response as I have had depression and am on medication for it. This is totally different. It isn't that I don't want to do anything, I just feel tired. I'm not sick but maybe I'm coming down with something... I don't know.

@kyleebean - I dont know if its the same as you... BUT here is what happen to me:
Had surgery on Dec 11, 2013 - was feeling really good but tired - and it just seemed that i was getting more tired as the days went by.... i started taking naps (NEVER IN MY LIFE HAVE I TAKEN NAPS - not even as a toddler)...

Well during this time, i had reached out to my doc & Nut because i was doing everything i was supposed to do... he told me to increase my B12... so i did... started taking one in the morning before Breakfast, then another at lunch... another mid day.... well my energy level was worst...

i was going to bed by 730 and sleeping till 630am... So i had blood work done... everything looked great...

one day about 3 weeks ago... my boss was telling me a story about how she was taking B12 - but was tired all the time... it wasnt until she had to have some tests done & her doc said dont take anything for 4 days prior to.... thats when she realized it was the b12...

so i figured what did i have to lose, so i started taking ONE b12 at night... and after a few days of this... i couldnt get over how much more energy & how better i felt... I called my doc & told him... he said it can happen where the b12 has the opps effect in some people, and for me to cont to take it but at night and i can go back to just one 500 mcg.... (side note i did have a blood clot begining of March, and i was blaming "being tired" up to that... apparently that wasnt the case since i was having this issue before - I feel so much better now that i take the B12 at night)

Like i said... this is my story.. but if your doing everything right, and your blood work is normal... maybe just maybe you are one of those people too ?? Good luck :)

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
