    I had my surgery on 6/16 and have also suffered from lack of energy. My recent bloodwork showed that my iron was really low so was given prescription for that and I feel better! Maybe it's low iron?

I was 5/20 and have barely been able to handle a desk job because of lack of energy -- I don't know how you're doing it!!

It’s been pretty difficult, I am lucky that I never feel hungry but dang it’s hard to do much but work, home ,shower, bed

Try some electrolyte drinks. I found the added energy boost got me through. I had poor concentration too - my head was very doughy some days but that was complicated by my low blood pressure.

Are there specific foods that make you feel unwell or is it basically everything? Your tummy can be fussy for a while & something you eat today without an issue can make you unwell the next. It will pass. Are you eating slowly? I know that can be hard at work but it is important so as not to put pressure on your tummy.

You may need to eat a little more especially as a tall, very active male. Have a chat with your nutritionalist & surgeon. Periods of not losing weight, stalls, are common we say the first one happens at three weeks but it can be earlier or later & they can persist for one to three weeks.

My nutritionist told me to up my calories if I’m very active. So now I’ll add a protein bar in between meals. This gives me a small energy boost and about 40 g of protein.
Taking my chewable vitamins helps too. There are some days I run out of energy and I need to nap.
