Lack Of Energy

I had the procedure done 10th May 2012 & have lost 35kg, for the 1st few months I had endless amounts of energy however over the past month I've got literally no energy & feel as lazy as I was presleeve. Could it be my diet? I've been eating what I want (mostly carbs) & have had probably more nights on the booze than I should however I'm still losing weight, just have no energy that's the worst thing I loathe.....

Alcohol is a depressant and could be contributing to your lack of energy. Maybe increase protein intake and stop drinking alcohol to see how your energy level. :)

yea increase your protein. alcohol can dehydrate you also. Lack of sufficient protein and or water can cause fatigue.

Don't get me wrong I don't have a drinking problem it's just that I've been to a few bbqs, weddings, work functions etc. as of this week I've already started making the right changes. Does anyone know what the daily limit of carbs is?

I keep my protein at 75-90 grams/day, and my carbs below 30 grams/day.

That low on the carbs.....REALLY? I do 30 for morning tea & probably for Breakfast. Would you mind telling me what your average daily eating plan looks like?

Breakfast:

Morning Tea:

Lunch:

Afternoon Tea:

Dinner:

Snack:

Are you keeping on your b 12 vitamins??

My nut recommended multivitamin, b12, and citrical daily

My mum is on under 10 carbs a day on diabetic diet, and my sister is on 300-500 a day depending on her training schedule... Everyone diff. But pre-sleeve I'm averaging 300, but I'd like to cut that down (most of it is fruit and grains though- except on bad takeout days)

Nut is nutritionist and citrical (I read it as critical first too lol) is for calcium?

Breakfast: 8oz chocolate Muscle Milk Lite

AM snack: 1/2 an Atkins bar (Mudslide usually)

Lunch: 1/3 cup tuna salad and 1/4 cup fat free cottage cheese

Afternoon snack: something with at least 15 grams Protein, and no more than 5 grams carbs

Dinner: 2 oz lean meat and 1/4 cup non-starchy veggie

PM snack: Gelatein 20 (high-protein jello)

I have other options that I alternate, but that's pretty typical for a day.

I do my best to stay around 30 carbs a day also. Sometimes its a bit higher but not tht often. I eat around 300+ to 650 calories a day. Average inbetween that. I was sleeved on July 16th.
