No Energy, Sleeping Like A Bear

[KikiCC 83]

Well the days of post surgical insomnia are gone (first two weeks I couldn'f sleep). Now it seems like I could sleep all day. I have no energy at all. I go to bed at 10-11, and unless someone wakes me up, I will sleep 12-4 hrs, totally knocked out, no sleeping aides needed. I will be 4 weeks out Monday, and I return to work that day as well. I am following all the diet requirements. Is it normal to be this exhausted?

If your getting all your Proteins in, you also want to take your Vitamins and maybe B-12. Hopefully that helps. The B-12 really helped me.

my sleep pattern turned like that too after my surgery. . .i could fall asleep and stay asleep with no problems. . . that is just one of the benefits of losing weight. . . your body is probably really exhausted. . . and like livinglifeout, make sure you take your Vitamins as ordered by your doctor. . . you'll definately get used to it soon, and you'll notice your energy levels will go up as soon as you start working again. good luck

IRON!! I was feeling like that along with getting dizzy then I realized the Vitamin I was taking had no Iron in it. Started taking an iron supplement and literally the next day I felt like a different person! Try it

I took Iron, B12, and nothing helped. I would get up, drink coffee, take a nap, go walk, nap, do some laundry, nap. I couldn't live like that. Started taking amino acid l-phenylalanine and it has done wonders for energy and a happier mood.
