I have energy most days. Energy is higher in the mornings

Same here... a lot more energy in the mornings and I do get a little light headed; however, my NUT said it could be lack of sugar. So, I eat 1-2 tablespoons of applesauce and I am fine. I am running 500-700 cals a day. I also make a bunch of homemade, high protein, high fiber soups/ stews. This seems to help, too.

I'm 8 days out and the last two we hellacious!! I was running on empty big time. Today my diet allows cream soups and shakes, so I feel a bit better. Is this normal?

I am 13 days post op and it doesn't take much to wear me out. A trip to grocery store for 2 hrs. Just did me in this evening. Slacked on my protein today though. I slept a lot t oday.

I went back to work within 6 days of the surgery. I work a pretty high-stress desk job. The first week I pretty much worked my normal 10-12 hour days. But, I would crash as soon as I got back to the hotel. Yeah, I travel to a client site (out of state) for work. Yesterday, I left at 5pm (super early for me), but I was up at 5 am, and went back to the hotel and slept from 6:30 to 4:30. I had to skip a leads meeting that started at 6:15 pm becuase I just couldn't make it. It was a really high stress day. Employee is screwing up left and right and I had to read her the riot act and listen to excuse after excuse.

I am hoping for a better day to today. I am thinking of trying taking B12 twice a day. Once in the morning and once in the afternoon. I am open to any suggestions to beef up my energy late in the afternoon. But, then again, maybe my body just needs rest and I need to listen to it.
