fatigue issues

Hello All, I had LAP RNY on 7/7/04 (8 months ago). I started at 311 and am now about 197. I am having a problem with constant fatigue. I wake up in the morning, not wanting to get out of bed because I feel that I'm not rested. I'm taking 18 vitamins a day, a big increase from the 2 I was taking up until two weeks ago. My friend has been diagnosed with neuropathy and I thought I needed to take more vitamins. I exercise, usually, 3 times a week, plus I play volleyball on a league once a week. I know that I started on carbs too soon, which would explain why I'm not losing any longer, not a pound in about 6 weeks. But, I feel like I'm getting way more nutrition than I was before and I wasn't so fatigued before. I don't know what's going on. I've had plenty of bloodwork and everything is fine there. Any suggestions? Laura

Laura, Thanks for asking this question, I can't wait for the answer! I'm in the same boat. My blood work was fine as well, and my doctor said it was totally normal to still feel fatigued, but it's getting old! I'm 4 months out. Good luck Hang in there! Dru

If your not taking them already, you should be supplementing with B-12. I get an injection every month and I can really tell the difference. Also, make sure you are getting enough iron. Patty

Have them check your liver enzymes ALT test . I had the same problem, and my regular MD ,not my gastric DR ran this test and did a liver scan ..MY enzymes are out the roof. I have been researching and found that lots of bariactric folks have this problem. My thyroid was checked first due to my reporting being tired all the time. IT came back normal so he did this test...I am awaiting results now of what could be the problem ...
