9 weeks post op but extremely fatigued and tired!

[cal2okl 37]

I started talking my Vitamins about a week ago which includes Iron, Vitamin D and b-12 shots.

This entire journey I've felt tired and worn out and now that I have returned to work by 5 all I want to do is crawl in bed and sleep.

Anyone else dealing with this and are there any other suggestions?

Did you not take Vitamins before week 8 or am I reading your post wrong?

I was very tired the first couple of months. The b-12 injections helped me a lot. Also, getting a LOT of Protein also helped. But really, it sounds like you're doing everything you can. Your body is probably still adjusting. If it continues though, definitely let your doctor know.

I was exhausted the first two months and worried that I would never feel like my old self again and then the tide turned and my energy returned. It just takes some time to heal and for the body and mind to adjust to the changes. ????

i was not approved for vitamins until six weeks out and the bariatric vitamins caused me to throw up so I had to order some so technically six seven weeks out

Are you on meds for high blood pressure? Your blood pressure may have dropped from weight loss, and adding meds that make it lower can make it very low, which makes you feel like you just crawled out from under a rock.

Are you getting in all of your Protein and fluids?

How much are you eating? Are you getting enough carbs and fats for your activity level?

Are you exercising?

Have you talked to your NUT or surgeon?

Are you getting enough rest/sleep?

You might still be fatigued from recovery, but it could be that you aren't getting enough rest or nourishment. It could be your Vitamin levels or something similar.

Or, it could be your blood pressure,

If you are concerned, I would definitely talk to your bariatric team or PCP.

Pretty sure I'm hitting the mark on 65g of Protein per day but can always use advice.

Just recently started exercising and try to eat every three hours.

I'm always sleep deprived.

I think it's my Vitamin levels...
