Yes I read where your body can get tired a lot.

I'm exhausted and I haven't managed to work out once. I haven't been doing my school work and I'm probably going to have to drop math. blah. I just can't do it. So yea, I'm tired. I usually have insomnia too. That's gone. I'm in bed early and begging to sleep late.

I would suggest starting to take your Vitamins like you are post op.. If you aren't already

I just tried to survive those 2 weeks....you're getting very few calories and extremely low carbs, it's a huge shock to your system you're almost there!!!!

I had the same problem for the first few days of preop. It's from the reduction in calories. Cause you actually start to burn more calories in regular daily activity than what you are intake. I would get half way through work and just want to die from exhaustion.
