No Energy anymore

[Jess_eR 13]

Feeling a bit concerned. I'm taking all my Vitamins that I'm supposed to and have been fine up until I reached my goal weight.

I'm struggling badly with energy later on in the day and really craving sweets!

Anyone else had this and what did you do?

I'm still early in my journey but I have problems in the afternoon/evening with the energy also. I'm only 4 weeks out of surgery so I was hoping it gets better.

Since you reached your goal weight, have you added back in new carbs? It might be you have to experiment to find which carbs do this to you.

Or drink 1/2 cup of coffee as an afternoon pick-me up. That is really a bandaid solution to what is probably dietary though.

You are still in the healing phase.. so it should be getting better over the next couple months. Doesn't hurt to examine the source of your carbs either...

As you transition from the weight loss phase to the maintenance phase, the strategy changes. I am 3 1/2 years post op RNY gastric bypass. The following article describes my approach in the maintenance phase. http://www.breadandbutterscience.com/Surgery2.pdf
