Around the middle of the day I get really tired. I mean really tired. I don't take a multi Vitamin do you think this could be the problem? Does anyone else have this problem? Any suggestions?

Thanks

How long has it been since you have had the band put in? I was very tired too, Once I started my Vitamins it really helped

You definitely need a multi--preferably one designed for banded patients. DEFINITELY.

It may not be the cause of your current issues (for those, I'd check with a doctor--persistent fatigue can mean many things--or nothing), but it really WILL affect your energy level in the long run.

Yes not taking a Vitamin could be your problem. I feel off the "wagon" for a week and stop taking my vitamin and it certainly affected me. Also make sure you are getting your Protein. I am a huge fan of at least 1 Protein Drink a day. The real stuff from GNC or so. Not a slimfast or similar shake.< /p>

My surgeon instructs all his patients to take 2(!) adult, chewable Centrum a dayand two Viactive calcium chews (yum). Add a good Vitamin and get some extra sleep and see if you feel better.

Are you taking your Vitamin B12? I find that gives me a lot of energy.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
