akt1908 4 Posted August 9, 2014 I was tired for at least 6 weeks, then off and on for a few more. I take 2 B12 now. At the time I was was also told to drink Poweraid Zero and even regular Gatorade. I'm two weeks and I am not getting enough Water. I can't get it down without burping a lot. How do you get all your Water in? I miss guzzling it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
itsmekarenlee 129 Posted August 9, 2014 I burp a lot too and hiccip after drinking. What's up with that??? Doesn't matter what I drink from, star, no straw, cup, water bottle, I still drink too much air even though I don't feel like I am.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tmartin1023 5 Posted August 12, 2014 I'm glad I joined this group...the questions I had have already been asked and the answers are there. I find this to be a great site for answers to my problems with my gastric bypass. I'm learning a lot about it from others who have been through it and will ask questions (if they have not already been asked) if needed. I'm happy I found this group.

klovitt0171 9 Posted August 12, 2014 I had my surgery on 6/24 & I am tired all the time. I wasn't getting in enough food & Water because I had a stricture which they dilated last week- I really hope it helps! I understand how all of you feel though because it's so hard to get up for work in the mornings! My Vitamin levels were all normal at my 30 day blood work check.

nelady 10 Posted August 13, 2014 Well, I took my B12 shot and the tiredness has been relieved somewhat - yea!! I still have a problem with mornings though. I wake up and sometimes have the shakes and feel really weak. Not sure why this is happening. I make sure I get all my prtein in and am keeping hydrated. I wonder if it's because I have gone 6-8 hours with no liquids?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tmartin1023 5 Posted August 15, 2014 I always wake up tired almost all the time when I know I'm getting enough sleep. I even get sleepy throughout the daytime. I sometimes need a nap during the day. Not sure why but I do. I also have Fibromyalgia which is known to cause chronic fatigue. So I'm not sure what is causing this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
klovitt0171 9 Posted August 16, 2014 I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia a few years ago but since my surgery & weight loss I don't have all the aches & pains I used to have. I know when I get higher Protein levels & all my fluids in I feel better but then I'll have a couple days that I don't drink as much & protein lowers & I get really tired. I still don't have my energy levels that I had before surgery but my surgery was only 7 weeks ago. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
