Lacking Energy 6 weeks out



Recommended Posts

I'm 6 weeks post surgery, on soft foods and have been doing well weightloss wise, but I am again having a bad period of no energy and no motivation for anything. I had this before I moved onto pureed foods as well and attributed it to the severely less intake of food (& variety of food). I get all my fluids in and still have 1-2 Protein Drinks a day and often a Quest Protein Bar also. I take my Vitamins. I try to go for a walk each day but at the moment I'm just tired out. I can only eat about 1/4 cup of food for Breakfast, lunch & dinner.

Is this normal and how can I increase my nutrition intake? (if this will help).

Any help/experiences much appreciated.

I sometimes feel low on energy. B12 and Gatorade G2 or Powerade Zero really help boost my energy levels. Have you talked to your doctor/nutritionist about it? I'd ask about increasing carbs slightly. What is your normal daily caloric intake? Carbs/protein grams?

Thanks for that. My daily average intake would be 800cal, 70 Protein & 40 carbs

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
