Hi, just thinking, have you had your bloods checked? Are you taking all the Vitamins we need post op? Are you eating & drinking enough? I was feeling really tired 'into my bones tired' and my bloods showed I was low in Iron. A friend of mine was also tired and she was found to be low in Vitamin D. It's worth a check

I was feeling very tired and I just
received the first of 5 Iron transfusion. I also have a DVT and pulmonary embolism. My bariatric dietician recommended the iron transfusion. She believes from malapsorption from mgb i became anemic. Looking forward to better days ahead.

I'm 6 months out and I have way more energy than I did prior to surgery. Before surgery I would plop down in the recliner after eating dinner. Post surgery I'm cleaning up, working on craft and household projects. Are you eating enough? Getting in all your Protein? At 6 months I'm eating 1000 - 1200 calories, but was around 800-1000 at 4-5 months.

Just from my experience i don't agree! You should be feeling good! Make sure your blood work is good...vitamin B12, D and Iron levels.

I had a similar experience a few months after my rny. My program said I should stop Protein Shakes one month after surgery because they wanted us to get Protein from food sources. I was also feeling very tired and having no energy 3-4 months out, and once I added the protein shakes back into my routine, I started feeling better. Good luck!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
