Feeling weak - 5 months post op

I am feeling so weak by the end of my work day. Is anyone else feeling weak or has felt like this ? If so what helped? I feel like I come hope from work and I am so exhausted. All I want to do is go to bed. I literally have no energy. If I dont sit down I start getting dizzy and then nauseous. Any afvice ?

I should mention that i have had my period twice in the month of july. One cycle for 15 days and the second for 12 days. I have been diagnosed with PCOS.

  • You could be anemic. Are you taking Iron? I would talk to your Gyn Dr about your period. That's a lot of bleeding. Sent from my KFFOWI using the BariatricPal App

  • I doubled up on my vitamins today and feel better. Not sure if i should do that but I did to give me a boost. Definelty feels like I am vitamin deficient. Thanks All!

I had that too. I needed to increase my calorie intake some and get extra Vitamin B12 and that seemed to help.

Anemia or other medical conditions could be the issue. Please check with you doctors as soon as possible. It is very important.

Sounds like our body is stressed out. Sometimes, stress can cause irregular periods. When I was super stressed a few months ago, I had my period for 2 weeks. I have PCOS, too. Try contacting your doctor. In my opinion, this is normal.

I'm 5 months out feeling exhausted during the day also, about a month ago my pcp found out I'm very anemic, I've been on a 2 a day 325mg of iron for a month now, still tired however I heard it can take awhile for iron levels to come back up....
