Are you taking your Vitamins, multi, B12, Calcium? I started my vitamins about a week after surgery and I never really was low on energy or tired, I blame it on the B12...

You should follow your doctor's and RD's orders for this. Most get a book to go by and a lot of talk leading up to surgery about what to take. I had 6 months of classes...

Check with your doctor to see if they want you to start B12, like FluffyChix stated I received a booklet from my doctor and it showed if your are having sleeve surgery then you take xyz Vitamins, Bypass xyz and so on. It's common for them to put you on B12 for energy and while I was in the hospital my doctor ordered B12 shots the day before being released for all of his patients, but run it by your group first honey.

I hope you feel better and energetic real soon 🙂

I was really tired for the first month or so. It takes your body a while to reconcile itself to the new eating regimen. It was much happier with all the easy-to-burn carbs, and plenty of them! Once your system gets used to burning fat, you'll feel better.

Has your team checked your Iron levels recently? I'm anemic, and I notice a huge difference in my stamina when I do and don't take my iron regularly.

I’m almost 17 weeks post op from RNY. I messaged my coordinator and asked about the B12. They sent me for labs to test everything.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
