Energy Levels Low!

[bubles089 35]

I am 3 1/2 weeks out and exausted!! I started back at work and I do 12 hour shifts but only 1 at a time and half way through my shift I am exausted!!! Next week I have to do 2 in a row and am scared! I can barley keep my eyes open! I am getting all my fluids and protien in each day. Does anyone else have this problem and when does it get better?

I am 5.5 weeks post op and still get extremely fatigued. I go to the gym and am fairly active all day, by 8pm i can barely move. It must be that we are burning more calories than we take in.

I felt that way too. After my labs came back with a low Iron level, my Doc suggested Bifera or SSS Tonic. The Bifera is kind of hard to find but Walmart carries the SSS Tonic. I take 3tbsp with a 500mg Vitamin C after my dinner. Within a few days I felt way better. I also take a B12 in the morning.
