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.

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.

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.

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??

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.

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.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
