B-100 complex will give you alot of energy..if you can not take pills get it in liquid form. I swear by it! Also up your protien intake, this too will help with energy.

City: Arlington State: VA | Iron?
You could be anemic. Do you eat much red meat?
I felt really fatigued and found out I was anemic, so now I take iron supplements every day.
Just a thought!

Surgery was on May 17, 2006. Weight at that time was 210. First (effective) fill was August 5th, 2006 and at that time I weighed about 202. Currently (January 9th) I'm at 185 pounds--down 25 pounds so far. Would like to get down to 145 or so. Yes, I am a slow loser!

City: Arlington State: VA | Chickie, how do I see your journal?
Hi Chickie,
I tried that link in your signature but it doesn't work to get me to your journal. I'd love to read about your journey, though.
Thanks! Quote:

Do you possibly have sleep apnea? I've been pooped for about a year now and the doc said that was why...I never get any quality sleep and I am oxygen deprived at night. Weekend comes and I just hit the couch and nap nap nap....I was just put on a CPAP machine this week.

Are you getting enough Protein -- considering bumping it - if you get 60 try 80, if you get 80 try 100 -- so forth.
I take centrum performance in the morning - and flintstone in the evening. My doctor recommended daily multi Vitamn 2x day.
I agree you need to have your blood checked to see if you need iron or something else.
B-complex does well as suggest here as well. They say B--12 is like a shot of energy!
Best of luck getting thru this quickly.
Gina

I love those sublingual B-12 tablets...they disolve right into your blood stream. And I totally second an Iron supplement. I was severely anemic and my doc gave me RX Iron called Niferex. It's great.

State: New York | When was the last time you had a physical with blood work? Your tiredness could be from a number of things... anemia, iron deficiency anemia, hypoglycemia, sleep apnea, perimenopause, etc. My advice is to see your MD to get some concrete answers and a treatment plan to help.
