I have been struggling with this since surgery. I did get out 2x today and just walked for about 15 minutes each time. Definitely felt good -- but hard to make myself do it everyday.

I feel exhausted all the time. Even after sitting on my rear all day at work. I have managed to get out on these last few nice weekends and walk the dog or go to the park. I even went down the slide. By spring, I should be able to get on the swings!
My commute to and from work is so long that getting up earlier or working out afterwards is just a fleeting thought.

You might need extra Iron. I take 2 iron pills per day plus the once monthly B12 shot plus the multi vitamin, extra calcium chew and an extra D3.

The iron, B-12 and D3 all have to do with energy.

Hope you get that extra energy boost you need soon!!!

Some days it's just good to give in to what the body wants as long as it's not every day.

Good luck :)

It took about three months for me to get back to what I thought of as normal energy levels. Hang in there. Your body and your mind and emotions are going through huge changes, and that means you need more rest.

i would say you need iron pills as well. I take the b-12 1 a week and I take an iron pill daily plus i do the multivitamin as well. I have a lot more energy than before. You really need to push yourself to at least walk everyday. You may not want to but you got to do it. You can do it stay strong and focused.

iron pills are not really good for us as they don't desolve. treat your new tummy as a new tummy and take baby liquid iron. It is cheap enough and can be mixed with your drinks or just taken in the droppers.

or cook with caste iron skillet and pans and you will get enough iron.

b12 can be got at costco biliguil and also will help. no need to get those shots. ouch. what are the drs trying to put us through pain for?

I was iron defitiant first three months. I new it at two weeks as i craved popcicles and ice. (sign) so i started taking iron. for my baby new tummy and one must treat it as baby.

One does not want to have ulcers or weakness in those seams on your tummy. even later into the healing.

Good thing is to eat something when you take those pills of any sort so your tummy as in NEW TUMMY doesn't suffer

I know this may sound simple or stupid, but it works for me.....I go outside!

On those days that I am just tired, I force myself to go outside and for some reason it just helps. Could be the sun, wind, now chill in the air, whatever it is, once I get outside it gives me the push I need. good luck!

What does your dr say? How are your blood results?
