Congrats Danielle. I'm sure this is a mixed blessing. I'd be terrified if I was pregnant this early out as I am sure you are as well. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers for a healthy pregnancy. Best of luck and let us know how everything goes. I too hope to get pregnant eventually. We plan to start to try when I am a couple years out. Being really careful right now and taking your advice!

I'm tired as well. I also take my vites, exercise and eat well. So where is all this energy we're supposed to have? Pam

Lynda, I can totally relate. I could lay my head down and just pass out. Like the prior post I have upped my shake from 70 to 80 grams - it does make a difference - little by little - and I get the B12 injections AND take the daily sublingual now - I procrastinated on the sublingual for the longest but have just recently got in the habit of taking it and have felt a bit of a boost. I was told that just taking sublinguals isn't enough - it doesn't always absorb well and if you do both it is ok - what your body doesn't use it just discards, you can't overdose on B12 Our doc prescribes primacare prenatal pills and we can't double up on those but we have just recently been told by our docs that RNY patients aren't absorbing all the B vitamins as we are supposed to so now we have to take a B-complex vitamin too (at first it was just a B1 vitamin but then they found out that if you take just B1 you will knock all the other B's out of whack) and now I feel alot better - except for all my hair loss - otherwise doing better. Good Luck and don't forget to tell your doc and dietician - they may have additional orders for blood work to check your potassium levels and such - I heard that when the potassium levels start to drop to low that you will feel exhausted all the time and nothing you do makes it better.

Hello Lynda, I ran into the same thing last week, so what I did was up my protein up to 3 shakes a day for a total of 95 grams per day and then I added another vitamin, so I take not just two vitamins now three, then today I went to a support group meeting and I was told to take the 3 regular multivitamins and at least 1000 mcg of Vitamin B-12. So I went to GNC and picked up some B-12 and took one at 3 in the afternoon and what a heck of a pick me up that did? Here it is going on Midnight and I have so much energy..... I hope you get over the hump.... it will kick in again..... Tom

Congratulations!!!! :D Is this your first?
