Very Tired!

[MiniMi 1,468]

I was banded on 10/5. Up till now everything has been going really smooth. Since yesterday I have been really tired, like fall asleep at my desk tired, and I don't know why.

The only thing I have changed is I added B- complex, Iron, and Biotin to my Vitamin regiment. I also take multi, b-12, cq10, d, Calcium. Can my Vitamins be the problem or could I be dehydrated? I get about 6 glasses a day + morning and evening herbal tea.

Getting about 70 gr Protein a day. Calories are around 600-700 a day. Oh, and I'm on the last day of my cycle.

700 calories seems extremely low, if your Dr is telling you to follow a 700 cal diet you may want to talk to him about increasing that to maybe 1000-1200, theres a certain amount you need for nutritional value, that may be catching up to you. I also am extremely tired but 9 days post op and went back to a really physical and high-stress job on my feet for 7 hours, probably should be taking it a little easier good luck, hope it passes quickly!

I agree but I'm having a hard time getting in any more. My dr doesn't really have a calorie amount to follow just a recommended size/ portion per meal. I think I am going to increase it but I'm still on soft foods so its hard to get more in.

Keep the smaller meals, maybe add in another one. I am sure the cycle did not help.

I think it is just catching up with you. I did not feel totally like myself until about six weeks out. I don't think the calorie intake is a problem. My doctor says the same thing. God know there is still enough fuel (fat) in my body even after losing 127 pounds. I am still at 500-600 calories a day and feel great.

Do you have sleep apnea?

I think you still need some rest and need to recuperate. Call your doctor if you don't get over it soon. I slept a lot the first month.
