Energy After Vsg



Recommended Posts

I am working on just moving in general. I bursts of energy but then I get a bit lightheaded and slightly winded and need to sit a while then I get back up and do stuff and get in 30 min walk a day....It's hit or miss I think. I am 8 days post op

It's sounds like there will be better days ahead. I guess taking it easy in the beginning would be best?

My energy levels are directly tied to my caloric intake. I am 20 months out and I recently tried to eat like a post-op, 600 cals <30g carbs and I felt horrible, heart palpatations and could barely blink I was so exhausted. 1200 calories and I am bouncing along a 2 mile run, followed by and hour and 15 minutes of intense yoga, followed by an hour of tango, and I feel awesome!

I am 5 weeks out today and completely exhausted! This was my first week back to work though. I was incredibly shaky and faint earlier in the week, and realized it was because I was too low in calories, sugar, and carbs...been working at upping those and am starting to feel better, but I am so glad that it is Friday, and I can get some rest this weekend! Hoping this passes soon!

I hope it passes for you soon too, Nikki.

I had my surgery a week ago today and I haven't walked (outside) since Monday. I have ABSOLUTELY NO ENERGY.

I will initially be "walking my horse" for exercise, since he needs it too. I am on the countdown to being sleeved...

I had my surgery on January 23rd and I have my days where I'm absolutely exhausted and other days where I can swim laps for 45 minutes. I'm still rather low on energy. I think it has to do with my diet. I really don't get too many carbs in at all. I'm all about the Protein at the moment. I'm hoping my energy will increase...I want to start rollerblading and Spin classes.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
