I also experienced this with me working 13 hour shifts as a nurse being on my feet all night. Now my plan says I do not need a b-12 supplement but everything I have read says I do and that it will help with energy and metabolism. So I have found a sub lingual supplement to try and see if it works.

I too am scheduled on 1/27 and I feel your pain. I'm at a point now where I'm so bored with my food choices and tired of Soup, that I have to force myself to eat even though I'm starving. I would rather go hungry than eat soup or fudgesicles. I just want this over with. My energy level has suffered a bit, but I've been taking my multi-vitamins so the fatigue is not that bad. This diet sucks!!! I have fasted from sun up until sunset for 30 days straight for Ramadan every year, but nothing compares to this.

THANKS CLIFF,

Your energy level will get better but it may take a while if you're like me. Keep up with the Protein Shakes and take Multi Vitamins. With me I believe that part of the fatigue was caused by depression because I was mourning overeating. That went away as I saw success on the scale. Best wishes to you.

I have more energy than I know what to do with. After about 4 days post op, and with maybe 2 afternoons where I needed a nap, I have had an abundance of energy. Way more than I had prior to surgery. I feel like this is the best think I have ever done for myself!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
