I'm 7 1/2 weeks out. I've lost close to 60 lbs so far which I'm not complaining at all. However when 12:30-1:00 rolls around I begin feeling extremely fatigued! I'm taking multi vitamins, B12, as well as biotin. I drink a shake every morning that has 40 grams of protein. For lunch & dinner I'm eating baked chicken breast or salmon. Which of course I can never finish. I'm following all rules even getting in my water. I do suffer from chronic back pain so my exercise is limited but I do walk. I truly want to be in the gym but have no energy to workout. Has anyone else experienced this and when will my energy return?? Is there something else I can take?? Thanks in advance!!

My energy wasn't related to calories but more to time since surgery. Surgery takes out more than just your stomach, you're under anesthesia, and have wounds that need to heal. I had plenty of fat on my body to sustain me so that wasn't my cause for fatigue, rather I was still recovering from major surgery at 7 weeks out. Be kind to yourself, take it easy, and don't force more food in.

Thanks so much... This makes sense.. Due to my chronic back issues I go under anesthesia every other week for procedures as well.. I never thought about that! So I'm sure it's a combo of my body healing and these other procedures. I know everyone is different and unique as well as not just one answer to my questions.. All have been helpful!! Thank you again!!

My back pain did get a lot better. Now the only time it hurts is when I've been walking for an entire day on cement floors. I have a bulging disc as well...there's hope! It does improve!

Sorry to hear you have low energy my friend. My energy dips as the day goes on, but I try to exercise every day and that sometimes actually helps with my energy. I think you need to find a way to increase calories. Maybe take in another Protein shake each day.

Personally, I've noticed that the fewer calories I have in a day the less energy I have and the less weight I lose because my body thinks it's starving. I'm currently in a 1 1/2 - 2 week stall even though I walked almost 45 miles last week, but I was also skipping meals last week and ended up with maybe a .5 pound loss this week (if I'm lucky)

Hope your energy level picks up soon.
