I had surgery 6/24/14 and I take my Vitamins and B12 but I stay tired all the time.... does anyone else?

When I first had my surgery, that was exactly the way I felt. In checking with a bunch of other people who had surgery around the same time found out that they were in the same boat. Your body has gone through surgery and many changes. You will be tired for a while, but you will eventually get your strength back. Don't rush it.

About a month ago I was so tired and could hardly lift my arms! I talked with my doctor and they told me that I needed to up my B-12 to 2000mg. I would speak with you surgeon. Hope you get some energy.

That could also be a problem I was doing injections but where I live we've run dry so I have to buy the pills and I think they are 1250 each pill

I just had my post-op appt and asked about this. Dr. Hart opined out I am only getting around 600 calories a day and am dehydrated. I switched to Powerade Zero and Zero Vitamin Water to make sure I am getting enough electrolytes. That's beginning to help. Plus, he said, my body is recovering deform major surgery. That alone tires one. Keep doing what the doctor prescribed. Well all get past this point.

I was tired for at least 6 weeks, then off and on for a few more. I take 2 B12 now. At the time I was was also told to drink Poweraid Zero and even regular Gatorade.

I am 4 months out and I am always tired. It's non stop. I come home and crash. I am a bit lazy with my nutrients. But I do have a sublingual B12 everyday. My Iron is def low and that also causes fatigue. I wish I could just get the b12 and iron shots and be good. I think I am going to talk to my surgeon because it's getting harder to function.

I had my surgery March 4 of this year and I have days when I feel tired. What I have found is that I must exercise, take my Vitamins and get a good night's sleep. Stress also affects how I feel. Check your vitamins. I take a liquid: Source of Life Gold and that seems to help.

Do they do iron injections? I'm wondering if my irons low.

I am four months out too. I have to take my Vitamins every day like clock work. I also take extra D.

My surgeon probably wouldn't want to hear this but I do have an extra coffee or tea in the late afternoon when I'm really tired.

Also I take Milk Thistle which supports your liver. Our livers have to do so much work processing all the fat and everything that comes out of it.

I have been bouncing off the walls since I came home from the hospital. The doctor told me to relax for two weeks afterwards, I relaxed by cleaning the house and the garage out. I thought going to the gym would wear me out, but it doesn't. I am so glad I have so much energy now, before all I would do is sit around and watch TV. My house is much cleaner.

Glad to see this question come up. I had my surgery on 7/22 and I am exhausted most of the time, especially first thing in the morning. Guess, I need to have my B-12 checked. Thanks for the info!

[jtickle 295]

Am I the only one who takes a B12 supplement? I read about all these people need b12 shots.

I take a sublingual B12 supplement and liquid vitamins Life Source Gold. Those seem to help. ALSO PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU ARE DRINKING PLENTLY OF WATER!
