another - is this normal? - question

I had my band put in on 5/29.  I have had 2 fills - 5cc no real restriction yet.  I am doing well with my exercise - walking every morning and usually a bike ride or another walk at night with my kids.  My energy levels seem to be much better than before the band.  Except - one day a week I feel like I've been run over by a truck.  I'm exhausted to say the least.  I try to go for a walk - its a major effort.  I take a nap because I think it will help - its like it isn't enough.  The next day I'm fine again, and I'm off for another week. 

I've been taking my vitamins.  I get all my protein in.  My iron is low - but its been low for years.  Is this normal for any of you?  Do you find your energy lags for a day?  Any ideas on what it could be?  I hate feeling like a slug!

Thanks!

Next time you see your nutritionist, ask him/her about B12 vitamins. Mine recommends taking them... and I've noticed that I'm much more alert/perky ever since.... WAY more than I ever was when I was drinking caffeine, lol. :)

I was wondering about b-12....thanks for the hint.  I'll pop one of the sublinguals right now.

This happened to me.  My personal trainer told me to make sure I am getting rest day (or two) in.  Your body is telling you that its time to back off for a minute.  Yesterday< I wanted to go work out but was physically exhausted so I didnt and did it this morning.  Now I feel great!
