Is anyone else as tired as I am?



Recommended Posts

I'm 6 wks PO and feel like I can only make it half day before I'm totally exhausted. It makes it really hard to go to the gym after work when all I want to do is crawl in bed and sleep. I'm taking my Vitamins, getting my Protein, and getting my Water.< /p>

We're twins--I was 6 weeks yesterday. I am so tired. Definitely need a daily nap. Haven't started exercising but of course, dr said that's the answer.

I had my 6 week checkup yesterday and dr gave me a B12 shot. I just had one on Nov 29 but she said it would make me feel better. I don't yet. Who knows? I'm going to start walking today. I hope I can do a good amount--like 15 minutes at least.

I've felt so good, though. I was at the gym 4 days PO and walking 3 miles by day 7. My energy changes so drastically from day to day. I'm eating pretty much the same, just can't seem to acct for the highs and lows. I'm hoping its normal.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
