Me too HP. I do have a bad back and am on meds which cause drowsiness but even so I am ridiculously shattered.
I sometimes think maybe, just maybe, I'm not eating enough. Not that I'm losing weight now lol !

I had my bloods done in July . Trouble is I don't get any results. They say they will ring if there is a problem. However, they did not ring re another serious problem they detected so I don't have much faith in them. I don't have B12 injections. I am so tired I could nod off right now and I am actually at work ! ( on a little break- not being naughty lol !)

I agree that Vitamin D deficiency could be part of the problem. I seldom go out and recently realised that I was becoming more and more depressed and weak. I couldn't concentrate for long and couldn't be bothered to do things I'd enjoyed, before.
I did some research and concluded that, since I am indoors 98% of the time, I was getting virtually no natural sunlight. Since our bodies need exposure to sunlight in order to manufacture Vitamin D, I had become severely deficient.
I bought high-strenth gel supplements on Amazon, and a fantastic wee handbag-sized spray (target - the tongue!) that contains 1000 measured doses. Over the last few weeks I've noticed a gradual but definite improvement. I would imagine that restoring my Vitamin D levels to 'normal' might take many months, but you start to feel the benefit in no time at all.
Of course after WLS weakness and fatigue could be due to malabsorption, which seems to affect most people post-op. You may lack iron, and perhaps a whole host of other vitamins and minerals. You may even lack protein.
Your symptoms definitely need to be investigated so speak to your team and nicely insist that you be seen at the earliest opportunity. Good luck to you both xx
