Energy level has not improved to the level it once was!



Recommended Posts

I had surgery 10/15 and I still find myself lacking in energy. I take my Vitamins, eat Protein but could do better and drink liquid but could be better, however, before surgery I always had a TON of energy.

I just don't have that kind of energy I use to have and I don't know what to do. I even find it hard to get motivated to work out when before surgery I was always committed and go at least 5 days a week.

Is anyone else feeling this way?

Me too although is seems to be getting a bit better for me. My labs have all looked fine since surgery so I'm not sure why my energy level has not been what it was pre-surgery. My surgery was Sep 2015.

I give this advice a lot everyone. But have you tried taking magnesium. Not magnesium citrate not magnesium oxide. But magnesium glutamate or magnesium orate. Any Vitamin shop will sell it. I regularly take about two hundred percent of daily value of that. Stress.sucks out magnesium. Surgery is stressful on your body. So is life. My greatest sin is when I feel better I stopped taking magnesium and then I cycle all over again. Magnesium helps with anxiety depression energy and a host of other things. If you take a little too much until your body gets used to it it's just going to come out in your poop. I also take Vitamin D B12 and so late. That cluster of Vitamins seem to all be really good friends. And help each other work. Plus they're very cheap. I have also added on and TMG. The TMC seems to help with depression as well. The Magnesium is the thing that helps me the most. It's not so much that have more energy with it it's just that I feel worse without it.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
