tiredness 3 months out

I had my lap rny on 9-27-04, so it has been 3 months out & am very tired still, no energy & get dizzy alot. I know that I am only drinking maybe 20 oz of water & maybe only 10 protein a day since I have not found anything I like. I have tried propel,crystal light,minute maid, fruit2o...I just drink water now. I have tried I think all the bars for protein kinds from the store & ordering thru the mail. I can only take like 2 bites for a bar before my stomach hurts. My dr said my pouch is just sensitive. I am out of money as protein costs so much...Any one else experience this? or have suggestions. All protein drinks are too much or too think or gritty. I just want to be normal again.

I know exactly what you mean, I to probably am only consuming around the same, my open rny was Nov 10. When I first came home everything tasted fine, but now oh, my. I am still trying different things, the only thing I can half tolerate now is chicken and yes only a few bites. Things sound good, but once I get it yuck!! I am dizzy some and Tired. I'm sure things will get better for us as time goes by, my dietician said that it just takes some time to build up to what we're suppose to consume.

I had my surgery in Oct. and I still get tired easily, its getting a little better. My surgeon wants us to get our protein through our food. But I do take B12 vitamin. I was told if your dizzy one problem could be dehydration. Hope this helps.

Do you still drink protien shakes too? I could never get enough protien thru food alone, Cindy I take a show of B12 every month

no I have not found any protein drink I like, they all seem chalky or thick or just proteiny taste. I wish they had small ones.

I just found a way to hide the protein taste. When you make your drink add 1 teaspoon of sf pudding. That does wonders to the taste. I make one with OJ, water, ice, vanilla protein powder, and bananna pudding. I hope it helps, Kari
