karine76 82 Posted January 26, 2017 Hello, haven't posted in a while, hopefully there are still some good Veterans around here who can reassure me. Lately i've been noticing energy drops but also notice that I tend to get full faster? I mean I normally have cheeze string with about 8 cashews for snack. but this week I can only eat half of my cheese and nuts and I feel like I'm about to bust. Do fullness vary sometimes? should I be worried? I get the feeling it's like this for all my meals lately. 2 bites and I'm full I guess my "feeling" drained is a result of that eating less. but this week I can't even get out of bed to go to the gym. just worried a bit Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OMAChiver 44 Posted January 27, 2017 How fast do you eat? I find that 2oz of Protein takes me about 60 minutes to consume. Add a vegetable and it bumps up to 90 minutes. Last night I was pressed for time because of a meeting and ate 1oz of salmon and 2 asparagus spears in about 40 minutes...I was uncomfortably stuffed even though it was half of my normal quantity intake. As for the feeling lethargic, I would recommend taking a look at WHAT you are eating and making sure you are focusing on high Protein, nutrient dense foods. Put good stuff in, get good stuff out. These are just my opinions and experiences. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Berry78 4,261 Posted January 27, 2017 Definitely something to mention to your surgeon. Any sort of "back sliding" is cause for discussion. (Not necessarily concern though, so don't panic!) Are you still drinking Protein shakes? They might help get you more energy. Sent from my SM-N920R4 using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
