Day 38 and I still feel exhausted. I have been on vitamins since Phase II which are helping I think but geesh!!! My stamina is low. I work 7:30-4:00pm Mon - Fri. My 2:00 daily I feel like I could pass out.
Are you reaching your liquid and protein goals every day? Sounds like you may not be getting enough nutrition.
At that point I was dizzy a lot too. It took me may be three months to be ok. I was not drinking enough for sure. Try to increase your water intake it could help.
My surgeon did notice several times I was dehydrated, but at that time I was in a tropical climate, so it was hard to drink enough, the weather was burning hot.

I’m 5 weeks post-op. I too am tired all the time, but I know it’s because I’m not getting the protein or calories I need. (I’m at 500ish per day). I use vitamin patches and just started taking Vitamin B12 as well. I also got flavored water with electrolytes. This feeling is quite familiar to me though. I had hypermesis with two pregnancies and couldn’t even keep water down. :/
Please check back in and check in with either your Primary Health Care Provider (or who you would visit e.g if you had a chest infection) "Down Under" we just call them "your Doctor" i.e. based in General Practice , or 'your GP' ie.e General Practitioner, or your Baraiatric Surgeon.
I was fit, but obese with co-morbidities, at time of gastric sleeve surgery (if you want to, my blog is on http://www.bandingtogether.com.au, same user name).
I, however, am not in good health. I have (diagnosed) debilitating Myalgic Encephalitis (ME) , Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS), or as termed in the USA 'CFIDS" (Chronic Fatigue Immune Dysfunction Syndrome) and I get FIERCE Post Exertional Malaise - this is visible on observing me - I either go observable either super pale (and I look like a freakin' ghost first thing in the morning!), or I get recognisable 'fever' hot spots on my face - weirdly, this can just be one sided , + diagnosed Fibromyalgia , + diagnosed Complex Regional Pain Syndrome in my left hand/halfway down my left arm. Diagnosed osteoarthritis in both hips. Diagnosed chronic sprained ankle left side. Can't make this *shit* up.
However, I was massively under pressure from family to get my house/home/gardens etc presentable i.e. 'show-room' back in 2015 for "putting on the market" i.e selling . I was moving furniture less than four days post-op. And this was in the heat of Perth - south eastern from there - Western Australian summer. I then underwent a ghastly year physically, emotionally etc. And this continued. I was verbally and emotionally abused from all of my living family members, even though I did the best I could. APPARENTLY on one of the advertising pics A bed linen was crooked! I got BLASTED for this.
Now, four years later, I am in very poor health.
Nothing to do with obesity, weight loss surgery, but due to aging (I am now facing 56 years old - and wondering how that happened!), post-menopausal, and with having ME/CFIDS, Fibromyalgia, moderate sleep Apnoea, Severe Upper Airway Resistance Syndrome, Vestibular disease etc. *Crikey* Imagine if I HADN'T had WLS! Looking back to prior, I think that I would have been dead years ago.
