Hi. I am almost a month out and I am having energy issues. By the end of the day, I am exhausted. It has, to be fair gotten better, but i just don't know how to better manage my food or Vitamins to get to somewhat normal energy levels. I have lost about 20 pounds from the day of surgery ( including post surgery weight gain ). I look different and my clothes are falling off of me. I feel like I can't enjoy the new me quite as much as I would have thought.

The nutritionist told me to eat more and workout less ( which is a dream to hear ), but I don't feel right and my work is starting to suffer due to lack of interest and motivation. I feel bored, and I don't know why. I assume that it's due to lack of energy and lack of mental clarity. Any suggestions on foods that may help pick me up?

I am 5 months post Sleeve and lost 85 lbs to date. I was walking a lot after surgery and then began cycling too. That's when I really began to feel the effects of feeling wiped out during the day. I wasn't taking my sublingual B12 though and it helped after I began taking it. I also wasn't getting enough water in. I was eating only about 800 cal a day and taking in as much protein as I could. But something you said caught my eye - lack of interest and motivation - I feel this too. Less now but definitely not as motivated, maybe it's our bodies dealing with the surgery or something, I don't know but hang in there it does get better.

For a minute I thought I wrote this post and forgot. I'm a month out and no big complaints. Have lost 20 pounds, but feel so lazy and lack energy...

I'm interested in reading responses. I use to not be able to sit still and was going all day... Now I just feel so tired - esp. at end of day.
