For the last month i have been extremely tired. Im two years out started taking Iron pills and prenatal Vitamins . Does anyone else feel this way? If so have you seen your doctor and what was the diagnosis?

I am over 2 and a half years out and have suddenly in the past week experienced extreme exhaustion like i haven't felt since immed post-op. I take a women's multi daily, but I have started exercising regularly again, 45 min a day. But I was doing that post-op and I didn't feel this exhausted. I feel ... weary, and my calories and carbs aren't super low either.

Do you get your blood work done annually?

I would get your Vit D and B12 levels tested to see if you are deficient. Also, could you be dehydrated?

I cannot currently get my blood tested for anything, but I had all manner of 0 opanels done before deployment and if anything had shown up deficient you can believe the army would have dinged me for it ;). I get in about 60 oz of Water a day, it's tricky because I have to stack it because I don't have an indoor latrine and going to the bathroom at night is, an adventure ;) When I am done for the day, after the gym and shower and I lay down, I am effing wiped, I mean, it takes conscious effort to lift my arm to scratch my nose. I just chalk it up to adjusting to my new environment, my new daily rhythm, newly strict diet and vigorous exercise. I only just restarted on my Vitamins this week, I will give it another week of faithful Vitamin use, water drinking, and regulated exercise and food before getting concerned. Right now it just sucks :)

I felt the same way and I'm always freezing. I finally got my blood work done and now I have to see a specialist to get an Iron infusion. Please go get checked. You rather be alive then worry about your career. This is no joking matter

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
