Im have been talking to a few people and I hear many have either new found energy or just energy in general where they never did...

Tell me your energy level before and after surgery.

My energy level has been increasing, especially now that I am able to exercise more often and more intensely.

I think a combination of healthy eating, exercise, sleeping well, and abstaining from caffeine for the most part since before surgery have had a big influence on my increase in energy. The weight loss hasn't hurt either!

For me is my energy level as it was is gone...my heart and intentions are there but the energy is not...and it bothers me so much...

How far out are you after surgery?

Im not mu surgery is on the 21st of March...i guess part of everything is when i do anything that involves any type of energy i get a migraine...which they say may go away...

But i want the energy i once had

For me, the energy came after surgery, after I started eating more nutritious foods, exercising, etc. Immediately after surgery while I was still healing my energy level was still low.

Be patient. It will come.

I had moderate energy before - and would typically walk 20 minutes in the morning, often taking naps at my meal break and to tired to do much at night.

Now, I walk a half an hour in the morning, and evening. I have had some naps, but at two weeks out I am still in the immediate post op period. I am sleeping better and allergy symptoms are way down. I feel incredible! the first week was the best, I think it was the steroids given during surgery but I felt fabulous. Hope it lasts!

My energy started to return after about 2 months post op. Adding calories and more real foods is what helped a ton. When I was just eating 400 calories max and relying so heavily on Protein drinks, I was really tired. I am only 3 months post op and workout intensely at least 4 times a week. My energy is through the roof!

Awesome!! I hope so...to be honest i want to do light body building...but omg im always tired and sleepy...

I'm 5 weeks out and I definitely have lots more energy now than before surgery!!

i called my NUT at 11 days out and said i felt like i was in a coma and hungry. (still on 12 oz shakes a day total) she said if u heal fast and the swelling goes down the shake and Clear liquids go thru u faster and u can feel hungry. also, some people are very sensitive to the lack of carbs. she said to add one serving fruits (like half a cup berries or half a banana to your shake for the day (in the blender w the fruit then split it up during the day) it helped bring back some energy.

Thats a good idea!
