No Energy anymore



Recommended Posts

Feeling a bit concerned. I'm taking all my Vitamins that I'm supposed to and have been fine up until I reached my goal weight.

I'm struggling badly with energy later on in the day and really craving sweets!

Anyone else had this and what did you do?

I'm still early in my journey but I have problems in the afternoon/evening with the energy also. I'm only 4 weeks out of surgery so I was hoping it gets better.

Since you reached your goal weight, have you added back in new carbs? It might be you have to experiment to find which carbs do this to you.

Or drink 1/2 cup of coffee as an afternoon pick-me up. That is really a bandaid solution to what is probably dietary though.

You are still in the healing phase.. so it should be getting better over the next couple months. Doesn't hurt to examine the source of your carbs either...

As you transition from the weight loss phase to the maintenance phase, the strategy changes. I am 3 1/2 years post op RNY gastric bypass. The following article describes my approach in the maintenance phase. http://www.breadandbutterscience.com/Surgery2.pdf

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
