I am a week short of 8 mths and some days i still feel tired abit kind of blah. Today is one of those days just feel tired, is anyone else this far out feel the same??

I eat between 1000-1200 calories, 40-60grms of Protein and between 50-64ozs of Water.

I think its more cause its the weekend and i just dont follow my usual food and drink routine. During the week i am good on the weekend so so...

I was that way for about 9 months! I am 18 months post op and hadn't a clue as to why I could hardly stay awake. I worked out, I ate generally healthy and I drank about a cup of very strong coffee every morning yet by 3pm I always felt sleepy and sometimes fell asleep. Mind you, I am 29 years old and in decent shape. Come to find out I was severely anemic. Never thought of Iorn pills because I felt okay. But after talking to my doc about dizziness and tiredness my numbers came back very bad. Now after about 2 weeks of taking Iron suppliments I feel much better. Still not where I want to be but I don't sleep during the day anymore and I don't feel dizziness all of a sudden or upon standing. So it could be that...but if you've had your blood work done you should definitely talk to your doc about it because it actually is a significant sign of something being up this far out.

I agree with @KadijahRose, it wouldn't hurt to get your labs drawn. Anemia really can make you feel drained.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
