Hello all! I am new to the forums and just got my sleeve on Jan 15th 2012, so I am about 3 weeks post op. I have a question I hope someone can help with!

I am struggling with lack of energy. I am getting about 400 calories a day right now, with about 50 Proteins and most of my Water. Pre-Op I was very high energy and could go and go, today I am having a hard time making it through the day. Please tell me this gets better, I am going bonkers here!

thanks!

Lori

It does get better. I think it was about 2 months out for me when all of a sudden I noticed it.

Hi Lori,

I haven't struggled with energy myself, but if at all possible, try increasing your Protein. Even it you get it from Protein Soup (Unjury), other protein enriched drinks or an additional shake. Are you on any Vitamin /mineral supplements?

I am on two chewable multi vit right now. Will add more net week. My lack of hunger is making it difficult to get more in, but I do try increase it a bit everyday!

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
