Im just glad that it sounds like we will get more energy soon...I hope it is soon. also I am doing much better since I upped my calories to about 700. Im feeling much better and the scale is starting to move again. also when are we supose to start vitaimes? I think I was told about 4 weeks post op. let me know.

I noticed a difference when I don't have enough Protein. Adding a spoonful of Protein Powder to whatever I eat helps me when I start getting drained...

Thanks for the link, singin! I take a lot of Vitamins for my fibromyalgia, so I will definitely check that out!

Less of me, my surgeon said I could start taking Vitamins right away, but then again, each doc is different!

My friend (who is also banded) just gave me some under-the-tongue tiny B12 Vitamin pills. I believe B12 is also given as a shot to boost energy, as a friend who had Gastric Bypass 8 years ago used to get B12 shots. I'm trying the pills. Also, I've been drinking a really good pre-made Protein Shake with 30 grams of Protein every morning for Breakfast (low fat, low carb, low calorie (160) - from costco - I think 'Premier' is the brand - $24 for case of 18). I used to drag in the mornings because I was a carboholic pre-band, but now having the protein shake and solid protein for lunch I am doing much better. I also have better energy level when I'm exercising consistently. Cutting caffiene and sugar can definately give you temporary decreased energy. Hang in there, all! :thumbup:
