Just plain tired...Is anyone else experiencing?

rcoleband · 07-01-2008, 09:02 PM

My issue is that I am very short on energy. I have been off work since 4/24 because of jaw surgery and I had my lap band on 6/18. With that said I have been on liquids for 8 weeks.

I am starting mushing but after about 2 or 3 hours of anything. I am zonked for the remainder of the day. I ride my eliptical for about 20 min a night and I feel good while on it but when I get off, taking a shower and putting on PJ's are a major chore.

Just wondering if anyone else is experiencing this. I know that I have had a lot of changes to my body in the past 2 months but I have to return to work on 7/14 and if my energy level is like this, I do not know, how on earth I will make it through the day.

Just looking for sugestions if any. Thanks

well done for doing 8 weeks on liquids!!! I managed 3 weeks and 5 days. as same as you getting tired didnt want to do anything, so I went onto soft foods and started to feel better after a couple of days.

the problem I have now is what i eat one day seems enough for two days. and dont feel like eating becuase there is no room? thats how it feels to me. Im still learning though!!!!!!!

hope you feel better soon.

How is your iron level? What your describing sounds to me like EXACTLY how I felt when I was anemic. I'd talk to your doctor and get an iron and a B12 level.

Thanks for the iron suggestion. I do take B12 and I take liguid vitamins with iron but I might need more.

This tired thing is getting, well you know, tiring, LOL

Went to the Dr today and she gave me a b12 shot, said it should help. She said that I should be ok on iron.
