Exhaustion 9 months post op

[jmlongVA 16]

Just wondering if anyone is experiencing the same thing. Approx one week each month I am totally exhausted. Feels like I could sleep all day. Blood work is fine and I'm taking my Vitamins as prescribed. I'm a male so no it isn't my period! Just wondering what others are experiencing. Thanks!

I am 3 years post-op RNY and I am not experiencing this.

I'm 14 months post op and have never had more energy. Maybe you should get your blood tested for Vitamin deficiencies.

Sorry didn't see that you already had that done.

Not sure if you are a female but ... could it be your monthly?

I don't know how old you are, but maybe it's a hormonal thing... like your testosterone levels are low?

I was told my blood work was fine by my bariatric team. A couple months later I was overwhelmed with fatigue and ongoing Hair loss. I insisted my general practitioner re-run my blood work. It came back that I had anemia. My bariatric team didn't run every test available to check for anemia. They only checked my ferritin which was technically "normal" but borderline. The TIBC and Iron saturation and total iron count came back as showing I had anemia. Exhaustion could also be not getting enough calories, but in my case it was anemia. Make sure they're checking more than just your ferritin levels. My iron starting tanking around month 10. Might not be that, but once i upped my iron, some of the fatigue went away. Still battling it though.

I am about 8 months out myself and find I get tired pretty easily. I eat well, balance my diet, meet all of my nutritional and liquid goals daily AND take all of my meds. I also have regular blood tests done and everything comes out normal.

it's weird and my doctor can't totally figure it out either.
