Feeling tired, lack of energy, etc...

[Sky61777 21]

Lately I have been getting really tired, mostly in the afternoon. Also feeling kind of woosy and have no energy. Anyone else experiencing this? Makes it really difficult to get the the gym after working all day. Also wondering how many carbs, cals, Protein everyone is getting in? Im about 1000 calories, 60 protein, 100 carbs.

How far out from surgery are you? Are you on medications and have they been adjusted for your weight loss?

I'm a diabetic and have high blood pressure. I am taking only a quarter of what I used to take, because I was having problems similar to yours. I even cut my diabetes pill in half and take half in morning and half in evening.

Also, how is your Vitamin intake? Have you had blood tests to confirm you aren't deficient in Iron, potassium, sodium, Vitamin D, B12? If no, suggest you call your PCP and get in for tests. Have them test Thyroid also. Vitamin D deficiency can cause the tiredness you describe.

Good luck to you.

I am 6 months out of surgery. I get an average of 1100 to 1200 calories per day, 100 gm Protein, and 150gm carbs. I find that when I have too little calories (or carbs) I feel sluggish and tired. I also know that when I'm not good about taking my Vitamins that I feel that same way.
