Everyone's body reacts differently, just listen to your body, if your tired relax don't over do it.

100% of energy was almost 2 months for me as well. The first 6 weeks, i was fine mentally after the first week, but my body just wanted to sit and not do much anywhere. I walked some, but it was a good 6 weeks before i had the energy to do anything outside of work on a regular basis. I am now almost 3 months and have a super amount of energy.

I was good at a desk job about 3 weeks after surgery. Thinking was fine. For 100% of my energy to return, it took almost 2 months.

C Noel reacted to Yenli in Insomnia
I have the dreaded early waking insomnia--I wake up early and cannot get back to sleep. I have no problem getting to sleep at night though. Some remedies that have worked for me: Designs for Health Insomnitol chewables (pricey, but I use them maybe 1-2 times a week as melatonin should not be used daily) , walking for exercise in the mornings, staying away from sugar/high carb foods, eliminating caffeine esp. after noon, Gaia Herbs Rhodiola Rosea, and Traditional Medicinals Organic Licorice Root Tea. I have tried many others, but these are the only ones that have helped me. I have a strange metabolism and many things affect me in an opposite way. For example, I am energized by magnesium instead of calmed.

C Noel reacted to mousecat88 in Keto Diet with weight loss surgery - What are your thoughts about it?
Realistically, it seems like the long-term WLS diet IS essentially Keto. With the exception of the addition of some dairy that is not allowed in keto diets (like milks and yogurts and certain fruit). I wonder if I am in ketosis currently given that I've only been eating Proteins primarily. Those OTC ketone sticks... I have no idea how accurate they really are.
