Exercise

Im down 20lbs since my surgery June 25, 2012. Still no energy and i'm getting in about 70-90 grams of Protein. I feel lazy and just want to veg on the couch lol I have 3 small kids so i'm constantly in demand of taking care of them but get really frustrated cuz i'm so drained. I walk 3.5 miles every other night but that's all I have energy for. Any advice?

Eat cooked veggies. They have good carbs in them. Your body needs carbs.

You had surgery same day as me. I have toddler twins. I had hernia repairs as well and have had complications, so mostly lying around. You are doing so well! Focus on recovery and put the scales away. This is a time to start listening to our bodies, you are tired 2 weeks out from major surgery, rest.

Thanks everyone the kids are a lot they are 2, 4, & 5 and keep me on my toes. i'm finding it difficult to have the energy to even take them to the park. I walk my 3.5 miles around 9 pm cuz of the hot weather and it is tough to do but I know if I don't ill have a slower weightloss.

It sounds to me like you're doing great. Keep up with the walking, add in some good carbs like PDXMan suggested and don't let the scale drive you crazy! That's what kids are for!
