Energy... what to do with it?



Recommended Posts

So I am a little over 6 months out.... lost almost 90lbs... feeling fantastic. However i just dont know what to do with all the energy I have! I wake up between 430am and 5am, rested ready to get up and start the day ( I go to bed about 9:30pm) EVERYDAY! I work full time, but have recently taken on a second job, I get my gym time in, walk my neighborhood as well everyday.... and now it's getting a little springish I am starting to do outside (yard) work too. But I find myself unable to just sit down!!! I am always popping up from my seat and thinking of little things to do!

I think its starting to drive my husband nuts... last night he said "Can you just SIT DOWN a few minutes and NOT MOVE?".. I laughed and sat down....for about 15 minutes.... then I was up cutting coupons and planning my grocery trip for the week! I have never felt so energetic!!

Anybody else have this problem???

I drove my hubby crazy before surgery. He said the same thing to me the other day. I am up at 4:30 and in bed by 9:30. But I do crash when I hit the bed.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
