Not Feeling "right"... Anyone Gone Through This?

[GonnaLoseIt 33]

Hey everyone,

I am 5 months post op. The past 2 weeks I have had a constant headache and am constantly feeling tired. I haven't had labs done yet, my doctor is gone til next week. I have always taken my multi but did not know I needed to be on Iron, Calcium and B12 consistently. But have started those and magnesium after reading about it on here, so about a week on those (taking Iron every 3 days, someone told me to be careful with iron til my labs are done).

Anyone gone through the same feelings, what did it end up being?

Any body have any ideas on why I am feeling so crummy?

Also just thought I would mention i intake 600-800 calories 60-80g Protein and usually 48 oz Water. I know its less than I should but I am drinking a lot, and struggling to get 64 oz.

I also forgot to mention, I did my blood pressure at Walmart 3 days ago and it says my blood pressure is perfect.

I think it is a good idea you are going to see your doctor. Honestly, I am not a fan of the 600-800 calorie a day plan, not even for sleevers. Especially if you are exercising regularly, as your body just needs more calories than that to fuel itself. I felt/feel that way when I do not give my body enough fuel. If I average at least 1100-1200 calories a day, I feel good and lose weight. Anything less and I just feel yucky, like you described. This may not be a popular theory with most sleevers it is just what works for me and why I feed my body something healthy every couple of hours.

No, I absolutely know I am definitely not pregnant.

Yep I was thinking same as poster above. That does NOT seem like enough calories. Even if you are getting Protein first you need enough fuel for your body.

Sorry to hear you're not feeling well! Other than the headache and fatigue, do you have any other pain, like your sleeve? Do you have a fever? I hope you feel better soon, please let us know what the Dr says.
