TOM Energy Drain....

[MsPuse 0]

I had my surgery 3/14. I'm doing pretty well. I've lost around 20 pounds. I've started my first menstrual period since the surgery and I am EXHAUSTED!!! I'm also munchie - - you know - hormonal munchie!

I'm taking my Vitamins, B12 and an Iron supplement. Does anyone else have any reccomendations on how to combat this. I'm doing pretty well not eating things I shouldn't (I did have 1/2 of SF pudding with lunch). But, I'd sure love some advice on improving the energy levels! I haven't had energy issues until now.

Thanks for any input!

Yep! Shrinking our stomach did nothing to those hormones! This early out, I say you are ok with 1/2 a SF pudding with the cravings. When you get to more solid foods, try to keep Protein Snacks around - beef jerkey, cheese, deviled egg, etc. Those seem to help.

This far out, I sometimes "allow" myself some chocolate. Yesterday, I had some chocolate in the trail mix - YUMMY! Just what my tummy and hormones needed. And, it seemed to give me a little bounce to my step (it may have been all in my head, but it helped!)
