Fatigue

[sloknitter 9]

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.

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.

Tanyamann32 sorry to hear that but I'm sure once treated you will be feeling so much better!

It has been 5 months since my surgery and I am still very tired. the doctor said this is normal.

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.

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. Best wishes.

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!
