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. :)

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?

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)

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.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
