Are you taking your Vitamins, multi, B12, Calcium? I started my vitamins about a week after surgery and I never really was low on energy or tired, I blame it on the B12...

I’m taking a multi should I add B12?

You should follow your doctor's and RD's orders for this. Most get a book to go by and a lot of talk leading up to surgery about what to take. I had 6 months of classes...

Check with your doctor to see if they want you to start B12, like FluffyChix stated I received a booklet from my doctor and it showed if your are having sleeve surgery then you take xyz Vitamins, Bypass xyz and so on. It's common for them to put you on B12 for energy and while I was in the hospital my doctor ordered B12 shots the day before being released for all of his patients, but run it by your group first honey.

I hope you feel better and energetic real soon 🙂

I was really tired for the first month or so. It takes your body a while to reconcile itself to the new eating regimen. It was much happier with all the easy-to-burn carbs, and plenty of them! Once your system gets used to burning fat, you'll feel better.

Has your team checked your Iron levels recently? I'm anemic, and I notice a huge difference in my stamina when I do and don't take my iron regularly.

I’m almost 17 weeks post op from RNY. I messaged my coordinator and asked about the B12. They sent me for labs to test everything.
