I am a week short of 8 mths and some days i still feel tired abit kind of blah. Today is one of those days just feel tired, is anyone else this far out feel the same??

I eat between 1000-1200 calories, 40-60grms of Protein and between 50-64ozs of Water.

I think its more cause its the weekend and i just dont follow my usual food and drink routine. During the week i am good on the weekend so so...

I was that way for about 9 months! I am 18 months post op and hadn't a clue as to why I could hardly stay awake. I worked out, I ate generally healthy and I drank about a cup of very strong coffee every morning yet by 3pm I always felt sleepy and sometimes fell asleep. Mind you, I am 29 years old and in decent shape. Come to find out I was severely anemic. Never thought of Iorn pills because I felt okay. But after talking to my doc about dizziness and tiredness my numbers came back very bad. Now after about 2 weeks of taking Iron suppliments I feel much better. Still not where I want to be but I don't sleep during the day anymore and I don't feel dizziness all of a sudden or upon standing. So it could be that...but if you've had your blood work done you should definitely talk to your doc about it because it actually is a significant sign of something being up this far out.

I agree with @KadijahRose, it wouldn't hurt to get your labs drawn. Anemia really can make you feel drained.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
