30 Days Post Op

As of last week I've lost 36 lbs maybe more, I don't weigh everyday. food variety is slim but I'm sticking with it. My only complaint is low energy and muscle fatigue. I am taking my Vitamins and drinking lots of Water. Any advice?

My first suspicion would be Protein insufficiency. How many grams are you intaking per day? Do your Vitamins have Iron, thiamin, B12, and folate?

Now that I think about it, I think your right about the Protein. I struggle with protein since I'm on soft foods at the moment and can't choke down anymore Protein shakes and I'm lactose intolerant. I would guess I'm probably at just a bit above the half of recommended daily dose. I know my Vitamins are good.

Protein and Water are your primary goals. Protein effects every part of the body and can slow your healing/recovery.

There are several options out there for lactose free whey protein. Isopure makes a good product. GNC also sells a lactose free whey called About Time.

No shame in being the chubby girl going to GNC. When I was starting the pre-op I bought Isopures from there. I didn't think they were terrible at all. And I believe it's 40g in the drink, and remember the Protein fluids count as your daily Fluid goal!

You have got to get in your Protein. Protein and Water are absolutely critical for healing and weight loss.

I ordered some new Protein Powder today. I will begin ASAP. I am forever loving Water. I can not stand the artificial sweetener aftertaste. I still struggle to eat, I'd rather drink. It seems like all I do is drink and pee! Lol....
