6 weeks later, down 29#, but exhaustion and nausea?

[Machta 15]

G'day, all. I'm almost 6 weeks out, and the weight loss is going very well. I'm down 29# and about 2 sizes. My 18yo daughter is so excited for me, and so is my husband! She points out changes in my body, from "I can fit my arms around you to hug all of you now!" to "Your knees look different!" I am so blessed to have them behind me in this journey.

Just a few negatives right now -- I still have to have a BIG nap (2+ hours) almost every day. I hope that improves soon. Also, just today, I'm having some nausea. I decided to go back to pureed food for a day to see if that helps, and it does a little bit.

I'd love to hear from anyone else who has had exhaustion and/or nausea at 6 weeks . . . although overall this is SO worth it!

Best of luck to everyone. This is not an easy journey, but by the grace of God, we'll all get through it!

I am at 4 weeks and feel your pain. Exhaustion is a constant thing for me now. I had to take a step back on my food to the soft food stage because of discomfort.Today was much better thank goodness.

Started using those Zipfizz B12 powders in my Water and it’s a nice boost of energy.

I struggled to get my energy back too but I tend to take a long time to recover from everything even a cold. I also had (still have) low blood pressure issues which I believe contributed.

The nausea could be from dairy or even your Multi Vitamins (they used to upset me a lot). Sometimes something you’ve been eating successfully will upset you out if the blue. I find if I drop it for a week or so I can eat it again without issue. Our tummies can be sensitive & contrary. I’d do the old trial & error. Add one thing you are regularly back into your diet & see how you go then add something else.
