sloknitter 9 Posted April 16, 2017 Hi. I had rny on Jan 25. Things are going pretty well. Main problem is feeling fatigued. Is it normal to feel tired this far out. 1 tanyamann32 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joules007 26 Posted April 17, 2017 Hi, just thinking, have you had your bloods checked? Are you taking all the Vitamins we need post op? Are you eating & drinking enough? I was feeling really tired 'into my bones tired' and my bloods showed I was low in Iron. A friend of mine was also tired and she was found to be low in Vitamin D. It's worth a check 2 tanyamann32 and blondie66 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tanyamann32 84 Posted April 17, 2017 I was feeling very tired and I just received the first of 5 Iron transfusion. I also have a DVT and pulmonary embolism. My bariatric dietician recommended the iron transfusion. She believes from malapsorption from mgb i became anemic. Looking forward to better days ahead.

Airstream88 361 Posted April 17, 2017 I'm 6 months out and I have way more energy than I did prior to surgery. Before surgery I would plop down in the recliner after eating dinner. Post surgery I'm cleaning up, working on craft and household projects. Are you eating enough? Getting in all your Protein? At 6 months I'm eating 1000 - 1200 calories, but was around 800-1000 at 4-5 months. 1 blondie66 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
catlady.2012 22 Posted April 17, 2017 Took me about 6 months after surgery to get my energy. Doc said this is normal and energy does kick in. I am 4.5 years out and everyone is different.

blondie66 271 Posted April 19, 2017 It has been 5 months since my surgery and I am still very tired. the doctor said this is normal.Just from my experience i don't agree! You should be feeling good! Make sure your blood work is good...vitamin B12, D and Iron levels. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ravensgrl 19 Posted April 20, 2017 I had a similar experience a few months after my rny. My program said I should stop Protein Shakes one month after surgery because they wanted us to get Protein from food sources. I was also feeling very tired and having no energy 3-4 months out, and once I added the protein shakes back into my routine, I started feeling better. Good luck!
