Tired all the time!!



Recommended Posts

Have you called your doctor? There may be a blood test that can show something. I was always tired before the band. In fact every day I took a 2-3 hour nap. Since the band maybe I have napped 2-3 times.

Many people say that they feel tired most of the time. While certain tests can rule out nutrient deficiencies and hormonal problems,Certain herbs can help your body cope with fatigue.

-Try having ginseng; it stimulates your adrenal glands and makes you more alert.

- A deficiency can make you feel rather lethargic. Include green leafy vegetables and nuts in your diet and check if you need a magnesium supplement. There are eight B Vitamins, which one requires to feel energerized. Eat chicken, nuts, cheese and eggs.< /span>

-Do breathing exercises daily.Unbelievable as it sounds, if you don't breathe correctly, it can actually make you feel tired. Breathe in through your nose and let the air fill your lungs. Exhale gently. Do breathing exercises thrice a day if you can.

-Have some dark chocolate. Chocolate has theobromine, which is a stimulant.

- Take a couple of minutes out to stretch your body.

-Stay hydrated at all times

Are you banded?

For me after the band I was having major fatigue from not enough Protein in my diet.

I think the ratio is .4grams for every pound you weigh. I was getting only 60 or less and should have been 80 or more!

I started supplementing with Protein Shots and feel 100% better.

Check your protein intake.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
