Not much energy

Just wondering what others may be doing about not having much energy. I had my sleeve surgery Sept 7th 2016 and I have increasingly lost more and more energy. I've been trying different foods to see if any help but none have thus far. I do need to drink more, I find that since I'm not feeling hungry, I don't drink much either. I've been trying to remember, any suggestions?? On the up side I've lost 28lbs.

I am pre-surgery, but I think you really need to keep up with your water and protein goals, even if you don't feel like it.

I also was sleeved on 09/07 - I didn't have a lot of energy the first 10 or so days. But the last week, I have noticed it was been return. I was actually able to really clean my house today. I've been slacking because I really didn't feel like it. How much Protein are you getting every day? I agree that you may have to increase a little. Will your doctor let you take a B12?

That's awesome that we had our surgery the same day.....I drink my Protein shake in the morning, I've been eating cottage cheese, tuna, yogurt, sometimes I'll eat as much of a high protein lean cuisine as I can. I was trying the protein Water, but it's awful. I don't know what else to do other than up my fluids, plus I get really cranky, but I think it's just because I'm really tired. I'm hoping my body just needs to adjust and that it happens soon.

You may be getting dehydrated. Dehydration causes fatigue and low energy. If you're not urinating often and if your urine is darker jn color, you r REALLY need to focus on getting your Water in. My first week was tough, but I noticed when I started getting at least 48oz for a few days straight, my energy level started to increase.
