Help! When will I regain my energy?

[erp 2,016]

My energy wasn't related to calories but more to time since surgery. Surgery takes out more than just your stomach, you're under anesthesia, and have wounds that need to heal. I had plenty of fat on my body to sustain me so that wasn't my cause for fatigue, rather I was still recovering from major surgery at 7 weeks out. Be kind to yourself, take it easy, and don't force more food in.

Thanks so much... This makes sense.. Due to my chronic back issues I go under anesthesia every other week for procedures as well.. I never thought about that! So I'm sure it's a combo of my body healing and these other procedures. I know everyone is different and unique as well as not just one answer to my questions.. All have been helpful!! Thank you again!!

My back pain did get a lot better. Now the only time it hurts is when I've been walking for an entire day on cement floors. I have a bulging disc as well...there's hope! It does improve!

Sorry to hear you have low energy my friend. My energy dips as the day goes on, but I try to exercise every day and that sometimes actually helps with my energy. I think you need to find a way to increase calories. Maybe take in another Protein shake each day.

Personally, I've noticed that the fewer calories I have in a day the less energy I have and the less weight I lose because my body thinks it's starving. I'm currently in a 1 1/2 - 2 week stall even though I walked almost 45 miles last week, but I was also skipping meals last week and ended up with maybe a .5 pound loss this week (if I'm lucky)

Hope your energy level picks up soon.
