10 months out - Energy all of a sudden gone and sleepy... .

I am a sleever 10 months out, everything is great, weight dowwn about 70 lbs, workouts great 4 to 5 days a week... all is good...

All of a sudden last week my energy is zapped and I am sleepy in morning and middle of day when I am normally up and my most productive times of the day. Can't understand what happened all of a sudden, it is like I just crashed...

I take a Multivitamin and a Vitamin D pill, last visit to doc last month all bloodwork was great... again all of a sudden I am sleepy, this is not my norm, am I missing some sort of vitamin all of a sudden?

Are you getting enough rest? Are you working out too much? That is what happened to me. I was just going to hard for so long and then my body just got tired. Maybe you need to take a few days off and rest your body.

You know, I starting increasing my rest, working out 3 days a week, skipping Tuesday and Thursday, believe it or not I do like that better. So I like that feeling, but as far as energy it is still zapped and I'm sleepy during morning and during the day... really weird since for last 9 months I have been a bottle of Energy....

I am almost 6 months out from sleeve surgery and also sooo tired. Want to sleep al the time. lon Multivitamins. I might be eating too little but am losing slowly so scared to eat more. I am following this to see if anyone has any ideas...

Are you getting enough Protein? Fluids? Carbs?

Have you talked to your NUT?

Maybe you are getting sick? The flu is late this year in the US.

Haven't talk to NUT yet... My Water intake may be too low, I wll try that immediately, will measure consumption. My protein intake is roughly 100 grams, I still got a low protein reading in my last bloodwork...

How long ago was the blood work done? Even though it looked good then extreme fatigue can be a sign of low iron.

You know it could be iron... I stopped taking it 1 month in... EXTREME constipation.....

My multivitamin is the one without iron.... I will look into it, if it's iron I will take it, no way around it if i need it... very possible....

Make sure you're eating enough carbs for the amount of exercise you're doing. All carbs are not bad. They're necessary for all bodies. Fruits, vegetables, some grains--like oatmeal--are important for a healthy lifestyle. Especially if you exercise so much.

Okay I will, believe me I don't avoid carbs for the most part, my twisted notion is if I avoided them all when losing in this phase than when i went to eat some after this phase my body would react to gain weight because my system was voided for this period of time, just my notion...

I second your notion!

My doctor told me the B vitamins were the most important with sleeve. Take B12 and Folic Acid with your other vitamins.

It could be that you are not taking in enough nutrients-protein, carbs, overall calories to sustain your body's needs. I just went through something similar here at 6 months where I wasn't getting enough and I was falling asleep all the time and I would have crushing migraine like headaches every afternoon. My weight loss also stalled out and I felt really just ill. My blood work was all good, just like yours so I asked my NUT for help, but she didn't really offer me anything except when my weight first stalled she cut out my carbs which made me even more tired and more ill. So after talking to several people on here, I went rogue and bumped my protein, carbs, and calories up and now my weight is melting like butter and I'm not tired anymore. It might be something to think about.
