call your doc's office and make an appt with the bariatric nutritionist.  She can help you devise a food plan to help get more protein in of the foods you prefer. Don't let it go long, for you don't want your body (your lab tests) to suffer.

The tired could be dehydration, lack of protein... any   number of things.  You gotta keep in close touch with your nutritionist.  Having any luck with any of the sugar-free flavored drink mixes?  I know at Walmart you can get a bunch of different flavors - orange, lemonade, pomegranet, mango... a lot of people don't do well with the plain water. 

Did you like the "coffee" that Jayne made?  that was a protein drink that could replace your coffee..

Ok, first off, you just had MAJOR surgery less than three months ago....you should be tired.  You are still healing and recovering.  Give it time!

Do everything you can to get in the fluids and the protein.  They are important and you don't want more problems cause you didn't get them in. 

DO YOUR BEST and it will all work out!
