Feeling worn down. Is this typical?

[ryan_86 335]

I've been feeling run down for a month. I'm down 125 pounds from when this all began and 6 months post-op. I go to the gym 4 times a week, starting a month ago. My workouts are tough but not strenuous.


I'm tired all the time, have very little energy, a nearly constant head and neck ache, and mentally a little foggy. I kept having night sweats a couple times a week until recently and haven't been sleeping well for a while, falling asleep but not staying asleep.


Vitamin levels are fine as of two weeks ago; D could be better but I'm taking several supplements for it.

Had some viruses in January (respiratory) and February (rotavirus) but nothing since. The occasional dizziness or nausea.

Getting in 100-120g Protein every day and 1100-1300 calories.

Anyone else go through something like this at this point in your journey?

I have an annual physical next month. Seeing my nutritionist next week. I'm hoping this is just a phase.

I'm not a nurse (an M.A) and our office has seen probably more patients with this upper respiratory virus and G.I. issues than chronic illnesses this year. My guess is only being 6 months post-op, on top of being sick those 2 months and doing 6 days a week at the gym might be doing too much. I would definitely follow up with your primary care physician and find out what's going on. Best of luck!

I struggled with a lot of these issues ever since surgery and the best thing I did was find a hormone doctor and started getting hormone injections. After my first injection I felt like a new person.

Might not be a bad idea to get your hormone levels checked. I am so thankful I did.
