Tired, what did you do that helped you?

[Trayjay33 138]

I have suffered from severe fatigue for most of my post-op period and at almost 10 months out it doesn't seem to be improving. I had blood work done to check Vitamin, thyroid panels, blood counts levels and it came back "normal". My diet has been adjusted several times to increase calories and Protein. Nothing helps at this point and the tiredness is so overwhelming at times. Please if you have dealt with tiredness and have it under control will you share how you managed it? Thank you.

What type of B12 Vitamin do you take and how often? Did you have a RNY gastric bypass surgery?

Good morning, I take Nature Made 1000mg timed release and I also take Centrum chewable which has a little additional B12. Yes, I had RNY.

I too purchased a bottle of Nature Made 1000mg timed release B-12 Vitamins. I asked my nutricianist if it was O.K. to take these in place of the sublingual B-12. She said NO. I think it has to do with the type of B-12. There are 2 types. One is called methylcobalamin. This is the type that should be taken. You might switch to the sublingual for a week (take it daily) and see if it makes a difference to your energy levels.

Ah, ok I will pick some of that up and give it a try. Thank you James.

Hi James I just wanted to say thanks for the info, I have been taking the right kind of B12 and also incorporating some Feosol now and then and I have noticed a difference. I hope this keeps up but I just wanted to say I appreciate the advice.

I take a timed-release B-12 daily, and my last lab work showed that my B-12 levels were through the roof.

Too much of a good think isn't good either I guess.

Hi. Lol, I rarely use the main site and I am not up to date with all the latest computer lingo so I had to think what a avi was. Since I use so many apps including Bariatric Pal as an App I have not updated my stats. I don't get that information on the APP or know how to access it. I logged on the main site and I see it wasn't updated so I will update it. As of today in case you don't see it I am female 5'6", down about 113 pounds since surgery.

My doctor didn't seem to think a high B-12 count is a problem. Which is great news!
