Hello all! I am new to the forums and just got my sleeve on Jan 15th 2012, so I am about 3 weeks post op. I have a question I hope someone can help with!

I am struggling with lack of energy. I am getting about 400 calories a day right now, with about 50 Proteins and most of my Water. Pre-Op I was very high energy and could go and go, today I am having a hard time making it through the day. Please tell me this gets better, I am going bonkers here!

thanks!

Lori

It does get better. I think it was about 2 months out for me when all of a sudden I noticed it.

Hi Lori,

I haven't struggled with energy myself, but if at all possible, try increasing your Protein. Even it you get it from protein Soup (Unjury), other protein enriched drinks or an additional shake. Are you on any Vitamin /mineral supplements?

I am on two chewable multi vit right now. Will add more net week. My lack of hunger is making it difficult to get more in, but I do try increase it a bit everyday!

It took me about five weeks before I got my energy back..I'm now at seven weeks and I.have more energy then I have had in a long time..hang in there some people take longer to recover than others!
