Protein Fatigue

Lately I have been feeling very tired. I was sleeved on the 24th of July and so far I have lost 30 pounds. I use my Fitness Pal and last night I did a report over the last 30 days of my proein consumption. It was too low. So I am tryig to up it. My question is this? How many others have had this situation occur and what did you fo to help it.

Thanks, Mark, Edmond Ok

  • I am a big fan of Premier Protein shakes and Quest protein bars to keep my protein up. The shakes are 30g each and the bars are 20g. You can get the shakes at Sam's Club and the bars from Amazon. HTH!

  • I was tired after surgery, and enjoyed my naps. But I've not heard that protein causes fatigue unless you have some sort of intolerance. I've just done a quick google, and found nothing to suggest i

Well, if you have to just drink 3 protien shakes a day at 30gr of protein each. That will put you at 90. Then strategize your meals to add another 40 grams. As you get better at this start to replace protien rich meals for 1 of those shakes. Remember, you don't need a big drawn out protien shake. I mix a 30 gr scoop of protien with 6 ounces of water and slam it I do that first thing every morning and after every workout. Start the day with a good count.

Another good method I still employ is the ISO RTD bottles. I mix that with about 40 ounces of water and drink all afternoon. Makes the water less boring and adds another 40 grams of protein a day. Just my morning shake, work out shake and the ISO with my water I am at 100 grams a day alone.

Mark what is your protein goal? My was set at 95 g a day. I have been really tired the last couple of days. Mine is stress related and I ate some sugar one day and I am paying for it. Good luck. Its also time for my B12 injection. I see you are from Edmond Ok. Who was your surgeon. I am from S. Oklahoma and had surgery in Norman. Good luck. Hit me up on MFP , moonbeam207

I had Dr. Hamilton Le at Integris in OKC. He was a great surgeon and I have had no problems at all. Who was your surgeon?

Dr. Ronnie Keith, in Norman OK. (Oklahoma Weight Loss Options) had surgery at the Norman Regional Hospital. I have had no problems. I absolutely LOVE my sleeve! :D
