3 wks post op - very low energy

Did anyone with band to sleeve revision have really low energy? I am on puree phase and getting at least 50g of protein, sometimes more and taking my multivitamin and B12, but feel very lethargic. I can't really exercise too much, because I just don't have the energy. Wanted to know if this was normal and when it ends.

I would work on increasing your Protein a little. Are you getting plenty of fluids? By about day 4 I was able to drink 3 protein drinks and get all my fluids in, and really felt the difference. I think it just affects us all differently. The lingering tiredness is common... get plenty of rest, your body is still recovering and telling you it needs that restorative sleep time. I think 2-3 weeks seems common until the energy levels come back.

I'm two weeks out from my conversion and I have also had very low energy. Yesterday I had almost 90 grams of protein and I can feel a huge difference today. I'm having two protein shakes plus two Greek yogurts. Tomorrow I get to add in more soft food like cottage cheese and applesauce so I'm hoping that'll help too!

I was taking B12 and my blood work at my 3 month follow up showed my B12 levels were too high. I started taking Coconut Oil - I bite into the pill and swallow the oil - then spit out the coating. It does seem to give me more energy. I've also noticed that if I eat more thAn I should at a meal, I get really tired afterwards

I am 11 days post op and have no energy at all. I started my vitamins today so I am hoping that will help. Still struggling with getting the protein in also.

In addition to all above and especially getting more protien in, I also use a stresstab that sells at Walmart that is very effective! Using these have helped me get back to the gym again. jake

I need to drink the protein shakes with 30g of protein. That helps keep my protein closer to 80g.

I am two weeks postop and very tired. I'm eating 80 to 90 grams of Protein a day and drinking the Water. I haven't started taking the B12 Vitamins yet though - just the multi and the Calcium.
