Boy am I tired! I slept 12 hours last night and just had a nap! I've never slept so much in my entire life!

From a past post it appeared that you had surgery on September 26, almost a week ago. The three most important elements after RNY gastric bypass surgery are to meet your daily Protein, Fluid and Vitamin requirements. In part not meeting these requirements can cause you to be tired.

Tiredness can also be a side effect of some medication.

It might also be due to low blood sugar. If you were diabetic prior to surgery and took prescription medicine for the condition, it might be time to reduce your medication. Also some people who had no signs of diabetes prior to surgery also developed reactive hypoglycemia after surgery.

But all in all, you are only one week out and your body may need a little extra time to mend.

Let yourself heal. Our bodies are recovering from Major Surgery. It is totally normal, also our Calories are way lower than our body is used too. Take your time, get your Protein in and drink your fluids. We can become dehydrated real quick. One thing my Dr. finally told me that while you are first getting just fluids and protein in Protein drinks count towards our fluids, this was after I was so stressed out about not getting in my fluids. But check with your Dr because they all have their own guidelines.
