I have NO energy! I think I need to get my bloodwork done again or something. I am a little down the last few days, cranky, and no energy. Not sure what I should take vitamin wise to jump start me but I can not keep going like this. I don't even want to be around me. My daughter started whinning at me today and I looked at her and said "Do you really want to go there with me today?" Can not take teen whinning!!! Calgon take me away!! Could it be hormones this far out??? 10months out??

Not surprising with your lack of sleep.
Hopefully you will be able to get a good nights sleep and feel better.

Hang in there!

I slept better with the tylenol PM but still not great. Up and tossing after 21/2 hours.Thanks for all the hugs. Sure need them about now. Going to go work out see if that helps. Need some ZZZZZ's.

If you find the fairy (or a miracle pill), please share. I am 7 weeks out and have gradually gotten some energy back, but don't have the "rush of energy" lots of other post-ops at this stage have. I am taking vits and do my best with protein and fluids. My exercise is lacking because I am pooped when I get home from work!

You are doing great! I would expect to be tired early out but I am 10months where is my power surge??? I think I need to drink more. Since we have been back in school I know I am not drinking enough. Have to work on that I guess. Take care you are doing awesome.

I hope you feel better. The only things that come to mind on the nutrition and vitamin side of things is protein, B12, and iron. Have you tried Proferrin ES or Proferrin Forte (prescription). Great iron with no gastro side effects.

I agree, Gina.  Starting to take my Corvite 150 pills made ALL THE DIFFERENCE IN THE WORLD when it came to energy.  I highly recommend them, despite the prescription and the price - the cost is exhorbitant (like $60/month) but they're the only iron pills I can take that give me the iron I need and don't make me sick.  Tried everything else.

I am making an effort to take all my vitamins each day especially the last couple with me feeling so bad. I am going to go give that treadmill a work out and see if that doesn't help me sleep. If I can get enough sleep maybe I will bounce back. Feeling a little strung out.

Hey - how did the Tylenol PM work for you? Did you sleep last night?

Not really I slept good for about 2 1/2 hours then tossed and turned. I am going to work out this afternoon and see if I get tired enough to drop.
