Why am I tired lately??

Has anyone felt tired around the 2nd month post op? Ive been having issues with this. Thinking it has somthing to do with not getting all my protien in.. What do you all think?? 

HI Sabrina, I wish I had a good answer for you. I'm one day behind you for our surgeries (1/11/11). You know how important Protein and water is for us now. So I'm not going to get involved w/ that. How many calories are you eating per day? I found out last week I was eating too few calories. What does you surgeon say about food and calories for 2 months out? I'm feeling better since I've upped my amount of food intake. Just a thought.    Hope your energy returns soon.    Mag   

Hi Mag, I am only getting about 600 calories per day.. Protien is a problem.. I try but dont get it all in most days and as for water I drink drink drink... I go back to the doctor in April so I will for sure ask alot of questions then.. I bet it is most likely my calorie intake.. How much have you lost since surgery? I have only lost 48 pounds since surgery but lost some before so I am at a total weight loss of 77 pounds.. Well hope to hear from you soon.. Take care.

Hiya mags!!!  How you feeling?  Havent seen you around alot...  or could be because I am not around that much.  i check here everyday for new posts though.  Hope that your feeling much better!!!!

Not sure how often you are working out, but if it isd often you might want to increase your calories to 800-900 calories a day.  Maybe even add a small piece of fruit.  Your body needs some carbohydrates to function.  If you dont get enough, you will feeel fatigued and will have difficulties with memory and concentration.

Protein is so very important!!!!  Not sure what shakes you are using, but I just switched to the  Snthrax nectars.  The chocolate trouffle tastes like chocolate mmilk.  I dont taste the whey protein either.  The smell is something different though.  I have been drinking it wiht silk soy milk.  I ordered the sample pack and paid $13.  I also like the roadside lemonade mixed with water and rasberry lemonade (crystal light).

Thanks Fran I will have to go check out some different protien drinks.. I will try to increase my intake but not sure if I will be able to handle it.. We are using the body fortress Whey protien which smells gross and taste about the same...lol.. makes me very sick..  I do alot of eggs and string cheese which has high protiens.. Id rather eat my protien then drink it if ya know what I mean.. I love crystal light.. I will have to try that out.. Thanks for the advise..

  I think you are right on schedule!  I'm just over 4 months out and am finally getting my energy back and then some.  If you are really concerned, have your Dr check your vitamin levels (Iron, B12 etc.)

Thanks Maryanne.. Im glad to hear that.. The Doc did say my energy levels would be returning soon.. Maybe its normal to be this tired because I know my body is goin through alot.. Thanks for ur comment..

Sabrina, I hope that your energy returns soon.  Check with your dietician if there are any changes you need.  Your body has been through quite a few adjustments.  Things will improve soon.  Keep us posted.  Hugs

Exhausted.  I still feel kind of tired and I'm four months out.  I heard it takes at least four months to feel totally back to yourself.
