Fatigue

[Guest guest]

Hi Tarri:

I still feel like I don't have all the energy I should. My surgery was 4 days

before yours. I have been trying to eat more protein, hoping that would help.

Also, one of the posts I read reminded me that maybe I am not drinking enough

fluids which means dehydration which means lack of energy. So I am making a

point of trying to drink more and I think it's helping. Also, I have been

considering changing to liquid vitamins (better absorption)to see if that helps.

Another person on liquid vitamins said she had more energy since she started

them and they dont make her feel sick. I notice I am starting with the hair

loss. Not lots, but more than I am used to. So I figure maybe the extra

protein will help with that also. Well, I guess this is the price we have to

pay to be thin. Good luck. Let me know if you find anything that works for

you.

I posted a while back about the liquid vitamins and no one responded so Im

going to try again since its been mentioned again. I'm finishing up my

packet and doing a great deal to get ready for the time AFTER I've had my

surgery (is that confidence or what?)  Anyway, I've always been very big on

vitamins.  I know that when Im on a good vitamin, I feel amazingly better.

 Anyway, I know I cant take what I take now because its about 16 horse sized

pills.  I found a liquid vitamin searching the internet that contains all I

know I need and want to take daily.  Its two tablespoons daily.  Are we

allowed to take liquid vitamins?  What do the rest of you do.  My guess is

I'm probably already more of a vitamin " nut " than most so it is an issue for

me.   Thanks !!

Dear Friends,

Can any other post-ops help?? For the first two months post op I felt my energy

level climb on a daily basis. I have taken the multivitamins (X3) faithfully

since the surgery but in the past 2 -3 weeks it is all I can do to finish my

work day and make it to the couch. I don't want to give up my exercise regimen

but even getting homework done with the kids and dinner fixed seems to spend my

energy reserve. I haven't contacted Dr. R. Thought I would try here first.

Thanks so much,

Pam,

Thanks for your prompt reply. I'll check out the liquid vitamins. No hair

loss here yet . . . I'm so thin on top to begin with that mine will really

be noticable. I'd rather be bald than fat - a small price to pay to have my

sense of self back.

Dear Michele,

Liquid vitamins are okay. Can you recommend the brand and where you bought

them? By the time I take the horse pills and the liquid to wash them down I

feel like I have had a meal.

Thanks for your help.

Sorry to hear that Tarri. Please let us know what you finally learn. I'd

suggest getting some blood work done by your PCP and go from there.

Hi Pam,

About that hair loss, I went to a nutritionist today and she said that zinc

would help to prevent as much fall out.

I can't help you from experience Tarri, but to say that I would call Dr. R. if

it were me. He doesn't mind the questions and besides it gives him a chance to

say hi, and find out about you in other things.

There are so many things that make us tired from stress to hormones to

imbalances. I suspect you're going to have to weed them out one by one. The

safest things (in my opinion) would be to see your PCP and have blood drawn.

Have check out your blood levels in everything. So if your thyroid is slowing

down, you'll know it, or if you need more iron, you'll know it. If everything

comes up " okay " maybe you'll have to try a different approach. But if you're

way out of wack on something you want to know that, too.

Please keep us posted: we'll all benefit from your reply.

Love,

You know, I have heard people say yes and no to liquid vitamins. I sure would
