Carrie 4 Posted October 8, 2010 I am trying to figure out why I am so exhausted and tired. I know at the moment with the move cross country and 2 kids under the age of 6 at the same time it's a bit harder than what some people are used to. I am always knodding off, falling on myself and just plain tired. My surgery was on Aug. 26th. Is exhaustion common at this time? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Carrie 4 Posted October 8, 2010 Yes, I am. I get more Protein than he recommended, I'm taking my Vitamins, I usually get my Water in. It's just a mystery to me. I believe I heard someone say something about being tired around the 6 weeks time frame but I don't remember who or where I read that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It seems most people pep up at the 3 month mark. But it never hurts to check. No reason to suffer if you don't have to. Another thought is thyroid hormone levels. I hope you find the answer.

Carrie 4 Posted October 8, 2010 It maybe my thyroid. I haven't had it checked since I was in the hospital and my levels were within normal limits. I am on Synthroid and take it as prescribed on an empty stomach and I wait almost 2 hours to eat afterwards. I'm going to have to find a new GP in Washington, once our move is complete to keep track of everything. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cherice95403 13 Posted October 9, 2010 It seems to be more common than not. I know right now I am having trouble getting off the couch. I spoke to two friends who had GB a few years ago and they both said the same thing. It took about 4-6 weeks before they stopping feeling like they were going to just fall over. I am waiting patiently since this has been horrible. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lisalu 89 Posted October 10, 2010 I was exhausted at week 6 but started feeling myself about week 8. I am about week 13 now and feel great. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
