I feel the same way, like my body just want to sleep. I notice when I changed my multi Vitamin. At first I was taken the chewables (they made me threw up). I switched to the Gummy Vitamin they are real good, I can hold them down. It's been three days of the switch. That's when I notice I was feeling tired. I haven't changed my regiment of Protein.

How's your B-12? If you're not already supplementing, maybe check with your doc to see if it would be a good idea.

Have your doctor do bloodwork if you think you are deficient in Vitamins.

I get tired a lot, too, but I figure it is just part of it. Some days are definitely worse than others, though. (And there is no rhyme or reason to it!)

Definitely check your B12 and have some blood work done. I felt like that in the first 3 months now I'm trying to sleep more. I get 5 hours. I'm up at 4am everyday for the gym or to go biking. I use Multivitamin patch from PatchMD and a monthly b12 injection from my dr. post-244766-14772771365364_thumb.jpg post-244766-14772771809964_thumb.jpg post-244766-14772771912466_thumb.jpg.

The last two pictures were from last night and today.

I was what I consider severely tired for about 6 months postop. At first needed 3-4 small naps a day just to get through it, and it went down to 1 short nap/day (preceded by a bone-weary fatigue that really incapacitated me) for the next 6 months. I'm 14 months out and realized recently that I have more nap-less days than days when I need a nap. So improving slowly but surely. I did have to up my B12 which was low normal and I think that helped. Also started having a morning coffee and I suspect that helped too.

      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.
