Low energy, no stamina

[Chelenka 827]

Hi all: I am almost 4 weeks post-op and am struggling with a lack of energy, getting easily winded and very low stamina. I used to work out before my surgery and could do 35 minutes on the elliptical and some weight machines. I've taken a few walks but I feel so breathless, especially when I first start. It seems to get a little easier after about 10 minutes but I'm not breaking any land-speed records. Has anyone else had a similar experience? I'm a bit concerned. Thanks!

I'm guessing you have been focusing on doing the low-carb thing? Do you know what your carb intake is?

This is a common falacy with new sleevers. We get sleeved and think we have to go on a diet. Huh?

The sleeve restriction is going to do that for us. We need to focus on getting well balanced meals. Make sure you are getting enough Protein, fats and carbs. Get a good variety of foods.

Don't diet, just eat smaller portions ... sleeved ... right?
