One month post-op Band to Bypass and feeling exhausted and sleepy all the time.

[Susan626 5]

I am one month post op today and I did really well thru surgery and recovery. Diet progressed great will little problems. But in the last week or so I have been sleeping a lot and so so exhausted all the time. Almost not able to get out of the chair.....watching movies all the time. Got my nites and days mixed up like a baby from sleeping all the time.....naps and more naps.

Does any one have any suggestions to get me back to having energy and enthusiasm? I have lost 28 lbs and love that part!! Taking my fluids, Protein, Vitamins, B-12 and Calcium.........

SUGGESTIONS PLEASE................

Are you getting enough Iron? Although most bariatric sites and even drs. don't mention it, I learned from a nutritionist on a Facebook board that you need to have poly or heme Iron because ferrous isn't absorbed properly. I buy one called Feosol Bifera Iron. You will also feel better once you can get more calories in.
