Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

I was told 11 years ago, that I would be better, having chronic fatigue, that having a gastric by-pass would make it better. It certainly does not. The hormone that is in your stomach, as with the duodenum, gets by-passed. So, you have a lot of episodes of shaking and hypo-glycemia. It DOES NOT make your chronic- fatigue better. In fact, it makes it worse!! I am proof positive. Please understand that I'm not saying a by-pass is bad, but if you have chronic fatigue it does NOT make it better. So be aware that you will have to eat. I have gained 35 pounds back. That's not good. I have to find some other way to help balance the hypo-glycemia that is a result of chronic fatigue.

I too have Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and other issues. I agree with what you said. It's definitely harder. I have to pace myself. For example: I do a task then I take a break (15 minutes to several hours depending on the task that I am completing). Then I start the process all over again. Sometimes I have to lay down for an hour or so.

My fibromyalgia definitely got much worse right after my RNY after years of stability. My doctor keeps saying this isn't possible but he's not the one falling on the floor in the morning and debating whether it's time to buy a cane. I probably still would have had the surgery though, as I figure the FMS getting worse was only a matter of time anyway.

I have FMS also and I have a cane. I don't need it all the time, but when I do, it is very helpful. I find that if I don't get enough calories and nutrition on good days, it will send me into flare up. Or if I am in flare up and I don't get enough super nutrient packed foods, then my flare up gets worse or lasts much longer. Although the RNY surgery has been a blessing for me, it adds another dimension to the challenge of maintaining balance for the condition.

Oh and I forgot to mention....It makes it harder to have a consistent appetite and increased stomach pain during flare ups.

How about you?

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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?
