TheNickelMax 26 Posted August 13, 2013 Sleeved June 10, and am down 42 pounds. I don't feel different (aside from pants feeling big) or think I look any different. June folks, has anyone encountered pretty intense fatigue since surgery? Hope everyone is well! 2 Aline728 and nursesettie reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bec101 227 Posted August 16, 2013 Isn't it funny how we all are different. I can sleep with no problems and have been since coming out of the hospital. If I don't get 9hrs I'm crap for the day! I hope everyone who is having trouble sleeping gets over it soon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

blackcloudkygirl 46 Posted August 17, 2013 -ChristyDoing well thanks I too have a lot of weight to lose' date=' that pre op diet was rough but I didn't cheat either. What kind of diet are you on now?[/quote'] Hi. I am trying to do a low carb, high Protein diet, sort of like Atkins. I try to stay under 35 carbs a day, of course sometimes I go a little higher, but 35 seems to be a good fit for me. I am also getting all my Protein from actual food, no Protein shakes, bars or powders. This is just my personal preference. My calories a day range from 800 to 1100, which at first I was freaking out about, cause I thought it was way too much compared to others, but my nutritionist said that was ok, cause I am eating a lot of protein. I only eat 3-3.5 oz per meal and about 1.5-2 oz for my Snacks. My surgeon recommended eating 3 meals a day and 2-3 Snacks per day, eating every 2-3 hours...I think this helps eliminate the urge to graze. What type of diet have you been following...I see so many different paths people take on here, I guess everyone has to find the right fit for them. If you use myfitnesspal you can look up my food diary and add me as a friend...anyone else reading this post is welcome to add me as well.

My Nut told me to increase my Protein to 100-120 gms of Protein since I'm 6'0". It's been difficult for me to get in the extra cause sometimes I fall asleep by 7. 1 TheNickelMax reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Corky6984 134 Posted August 18, 2013 I found the B complex plus B12 sublingual at Dollar General Yes. My nut said to take the B-Complex with B-12 so that knocks out two in one and one less thing you have to worry about! Plus it has a little more B-12 than we need and it does give you a boost!
