Fatigue

Hey group, I am experiencing a lot of fatigue, Today I was spose to go and have monthly blood work NPO after midnight and this am I woke up so exhusted.... I also talked with someone yesterday feeling the same way.  This am I knew I could not go anywhere with out eating and taking vit B.  I guess what I am asking has any one found out something more that help the fatigue.  It is so hard when you can not put that foot in front of the other.  Now with me I do suffer from Chronic Fatigue, and Fibromyalgia.  I am talking sub, B12 anyone got any other idea to boost that energy.

It's normal to have fatigue at this stage. I know that I didn't start getting back to normal until about 2 months out. Remember, your body is still recovering from major surgery. You may have an even harder time due to the chronic fatigue. It's just going to take time. Hopefully, as your weight goes down, the CF will improve.

Susan, Thank you for posting.  I just couldnt go and get my blood taken.  Thats frustrating.  As I sit here I am so sleepy.  But I am under alot of stress my mother who has been very ill waited today for my stepdad to get out of phyc. Hospital for her to go in to the hospital with Pnemonia... IN MI I am not there to help.  I have no choice to do it tomorrow.   Annrenee

I could tell when I wasn't getting in enough protein at that stage. Isopure Clear was still my best friend I sipped on one constantly. No they aren 't the best tasting but I felt better for it. Beth B. in TN

Beth, I havent had or seen ISOPURE CLEAR.  but I will look for it.  In fact I am going to go make a protein drink and sit and drink it now.  Thank you for youe reply. Annrenee

Hi Annrenne. You are still recovering from a major surgery. You are not going to be up and running any marathon soon. It takes several weeks for your energy level to come back. I know it took me a couple of months. Protein, protein and protein will help. Make sure you are taking all of your vitamins and getting in as much protein as you can. And do not miss your blood check appointments if you can prevent it. . Those are soo very important. The blood tests results can show how you are doing and if there is a reason you are do tired. So, make sure you keep those appointments if at all possible. Hang in there. Your energy level will improve a little at a time.

I'm 1 week out for surgery and I can honestly the fatigue is the biggest issue thus far.  Thanks for the tips and a realistic timeline. 

Pamela you are doing good to be on the PC at 1 week out.  How are you doing? Did this posting about the protein help you any,  I sure hope so. Annrenee  rny april 24th knoxville TN
