Why do I have no energy?

[LisaCO 169]

Had my first preop visit with my pcp today. Good news I am no longer taking any medications for blood pressure, diabetes, thyroid & reflux, yeah! Right but why do I have no energy I am meeting my Water & Protein requirements taking my Vitamins & B12. Starting my soft food had 1 oz cottage cheese for lunch. I am tolerating the foods well. No vomiting & nausea. Down 30 pounds from HW today. Am I missing something?

Because your body went from having, probably, over 2000 calories a day to more like 700 now. I was wiped OUT for weeks and my recovery was very slow, so I sat on the couch A LOT. So I lost whatever muscle mass I had before, making me feel even weaker. I'm 7.5 weeks post-op and about 3 weeks ago I started walking 20 minutes 3-4 mornings a week. To build up my stamina. It's helping, but I still enjoy a nap most days. I'm also off caffeine, which was my best friend pre-surg. Keep with the Vitamins, your body will start adjusting to the new calorie intake.
