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

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.

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.

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.

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!

      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.
