Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can get more energy. I am so exhausted by lunch time its not funny. I go to bed around 8 pm. Need to be up by 5 am. I have had my follow up for anemia 2 weeks ago and all my numbers were fantastic. I don't know who to talk to. Maybe its depression. If you guys have any energy tricks I would love to hear them. Or suggestions of which Dr i should talk to. Bariatric surgeon, hematologist, or psych.

You should supplement with protein.. My uncle who had bypass told me that if you don't get enough Protein you will be so tired it will feel like a anchor is tied to your butt.

I agree. I had the same energy drop after surgery talked to my surgeon and he asked If I was exercising. Of course the answer was no. He told me to walk fast enough to be able to talk but not sing 20-30 mins a day. I did and no more energy issues!

      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.
