Soooo Tired, Does This Pass?



Recommended Posts

Hi Everyone

I was sleeved 30/05/12 so I'm 4 weeks post op. I get so tired very easily and was wondering if this passes. I'm barely managing the daily things like dishes, cooking, washing etc. Does this pass or is there something I can do to make myself feel better? I feel like I've recovered from the surgery ie. incisions and bruising healed and feel pretty back to normal again. Is my body adjusting to eating such small amounts of food? I have a liquid multi Vitamin that I'm not good at taking because I hate the taste even when I put it in a drink and I also take fish oil.

I'm completely lactose intolerant so only have lactose free milk in tea etc. I can't have Protein shakes even with lactose free milk because it makes me feel sick and nausea in general has been a problem. I am feeling better in this regard since my surgeon changed my medication to Nexium 40mg/day.

Any advice would be great.

Are you taking a B12 supplement?

No Lilee, I'm not taking B12 but my multi has B12 in it.

Suggest you take a sublingal B12 suppliment twice a day. Sleevers do not absorb b12 as easily

I was really weak for a while, not getting in enough protien/nutients. You need to eat and find another Vitamin you can tolerate. Hate to be pushy but you did get this surgery to be healthier.

So, find something that works and stick to it. Eat to survive. Try adding some carbs for a week and see how it helps. Chewy Vitamins, childrens Vitamins, crushed vitamins...whatever lets you get what your body is crying out for to survive.

Hugs.

It's common to be tired and weak, remember that you've had a major surgery. The Vitamin B12 will definitely help, be sure to get your Protein. I remember getting tired again at about 3 months post surgery and it also lasted a couple of weeks.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
