simplypearl 1 Posted April 12, 2013 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dawnolson 85 Posted April 13, 2013 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nathaly 57 Posted April 14, 2013 When I exercise I have tons of energy' date=' so I exercise 7 days a week [/quote'] 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! HW 283. SW265. SD 3/22/13! CW 244. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
