Anyone else experiencing fatigue and low energy? I'm on week 2 and I can't seem to find much energy. Hope this passes soon. Anyone else have this? Does it go away?

My nutritionist put me on a liquid Vitamin B complex with B12.< /p>

I am 3 weeks out and by the time I get home around 5pm, I am exhausted. I've been taking a sublingual B-12 Vitamin along with my regular Multivitamin, but it hasn't helped that much.

I will be 1 week post-op tomorrow. I am taking vit. B12 also and Calcium. I am experiencing fatigue. I was told to make sure I got the Protein shakes , Vitamins and liquids in and that would help. I think part of it is just the healing process. I do walk every two hours during the day for 10 min. like they told me. Hopefully next week will be better.

This gets better little by little. Assuming you are post op a couple of weeks and only getting in a few hundred calories a day and probably not enough fluids it's to be expected. Hang in there, I promise it gets better

Im 5 months out and still battle this. I added exercise to try to counter it and that slowed the loss but increased the inches lost.

Over all tho i feel better than before i had the surgery so Im ok with it for now.

I returned to work after two weeks off and could barely get through one client without feeling sore and exhausted. Now I can work 12 hours with no problems. I don't have much left after a long day but I feel ok as long as I remember to eat and get fluids in throughout the day

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
