Did anyone have MORE energy newly sleeved?

I feel better now, just over 3 weeks post op, than I did before surgery. My mood is better and my energy levels are much higher. I don't understand how I can feel so peppy when my body is living on 600 calories a day. I read so many posts where some are struggling to get their energy back... but I know I can't be the only one that has felt 1,000 times better almost immediately post-op.

I have contemplated all sorts of theories, lol. I know that my blood sugar is very stable now, and I am not having the numerous cups of coffee that I used to have. The little I am eating of soft solids are from fresh foods, nothing processed, few chemicals and additives. I have met my Fluid and Protein goals daily since day 3, and take all my Vitamins. Is cutting out the crap foods, and getting all the protein and vitamins the reason I feel so darn good? Could I have had deficiencies pre-op that I am now meeting? I really don't understand it.

Did anyone else experience this? Is there some valid explanation, or just the perfect combination of things?

The three week mark was my turning point. My body was lighter, I was completely detoxed of chemical laden food, artificial colors, excess fatty mess...

Plus the pure excitement of being post op and diet free!!

I am 9 days post op and feel great! I have had NO problems getting my Protein and liquids in. I returned to work full time one week after my surgery. I am sleeping well and very alert during the day. I am enjoying the "sleeved" life! I am having a hard time still taking it easy so I heal completely. Since surgery I am down 12 pounds, and on the pre-op diet I lost 10. I have been so thankful I have chosen this road so far!
