Sleevedmommy28 0 Posted November 14, 2014 Hello guys! I tried to do a very basic exercise video to tone my inner thighs (it was about 10 minutes) and it damn near killed me. I had the sleeve about a month and a half ago and I feel like someone has sucked the life source out of me. I felt dizzy and needed to rest after. At my heaviest, I could workout harder than this. Is this normal? My cousin who was sleeved was RUNNING after her surgery. I am afraid to even try it again. Anyone else experience this? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
audefacere 45 Posted November 14, 2014 Maybe you're not eating enough Protein before your workout. I was having dizzy spells and it was because I wasn't eating enough and possibly dehydrated. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was doing Water aerobics 3 times a well pre-op. I resumed on week 3 and I can do the entire 1 hour class no problem. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sleeverino 26 Posted November 14, 2014 Some simple carbs might give you that ATP boost you need. Half a banana pre-workout works wonders for one's Krebs Cycle. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
motherof5 364 Posted November 19, 2014 I had to same problem. I do my workout 5 in the morning. Its too early for me to eat so I just drink my Protein Shake. But I will have kind of fruit (usually a banana),milk and either yogurt or Peanut Butter for more Protein. Once I started this, I was fine. My NUT told me it was my sugar levels. I needed eat something. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sleevedmommy28 0 Posted November 19, 2014 I wasn't very active before the surgery. But I was able to walk 3.25 miles and I was 40 lbs heavier than I am now. I think my nutrition may be the problem. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Introvert 53 Posted November 19, 2014 Yes it's probably nutritional. I was so weak and exhausted until about 2 months out. Now I'm a little under 3 months and have tons of energy and can eat whatever... Just give it time. ???? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
