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'm two weeks and I am not getting enough Water. I can't get it down without burping a lot. How do you get all your Water in? I miss guzzling it.

I'm glad I joined this group...the questions I had have already been asked and the answers are there. :) I find this to be a great site for answers to my problems with my gastric bypass. I'm learning a lot about it from others who have been through it and will ask questions (if they have not already been asked) if needed. I'm happy I found this group.

I had my surgery on 6/24 & I am tired all the time. I wasn't getting in enough food & Water because I had a stricture which they dilated last week- I really hope it helps! I understand how all of you feel though because it's so hard to get up for work in the mornings! My Vitamin levels were all normal at my 30 day blood work check.

Well, I took my B12 shot and the tiredness has been relieved somewhat - yea!! I still have a problem with mornings though. I wake up and sometimes have the shakes and feel really weak. Not sure why this is happening. I make sure I get all my prtein in and am keeping hydrated. I wonder if it's because I have gone 6-8 hours with no liquids??

I always wake up tired almost all the time when I know I'm getting enough sleep. I even get sleepy throughout the daytime. I sometimes need a nap during the day. Not sure why but I do. I also have Fibromyalgia which is known to cause chronic fatigue. So I'm not sure what is causing this.

I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia a few years ago but since my surgery & weight loss I don't have all the aches & pains I used to have. I know when I get higher Protein levels & all my fluids in I feel better but then I'll have a couple days that I don't drink as much & protein lowers & I get really tired. I still don't have my energy levels that I had before surgery but my surgery was only 7 weeks ago.

      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! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
