It may not be lack of Vitamins but lack of hydration. It can even be low Protein. If none of those apply check with your doctor as you may be low in Iron.

This happened to me. It was awful. I am now 11 weeks out an am starting to feel normal again. I am still tired, but certainly not to the extent that I was. I think it is the shock of surgery on the body and not being able to get many calories in

Yes I had this issue as well once I started drinking more I felt better also I was low on potassium but I have AFib so that may not be your problem I was told to try some low sugar orange juice and some mashed bananas which did actually help I actually had to force myself to get up and do things if even for a few mins at a time took all my energy to shower

a lot of things can go haywire after surgery and low cals, do get things checked like Iron as mentioned, but also consider thyroid and low blood pressure etc 0 go get some blood works and a general check up and keep up the protien and Water :) All the best

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

      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! 😞
