Tired and Cold

[Loll]

I am three month post bypass and still feel the cold badly and most days am really tired almost drained of all energy. Having all my vitimins but thinking of upping the iron. Any ideas?

hi lol how much iron are you taking already. How much protien are you managing to get in a day. Found this site the other day which i found really intresting as it allows you to work out how much protien for your weight you should have.

Concernibg the tiredness, you may want to take a good look at what you are eating, are actually eating enough? Sometimes post-op especially in the first 6 months don't eat enough. Also look at your protein in take (it is your main source of fuel) maybe it needs to be upped. I would be careful about upping your iron without discussing it with your doc. Maybe a B-12 test is in order, fatige is common when b-12 is low.

As for the cold, it is just part of the wls experience, here is a link that explains it well:
