You feel this way due to calorie deficit. Calories give energy. Hang in there!

Give it another 2-4 weeks! I was the same way! I took multiple naps per day, and was always exhausted. It finally went away, and I got my energy back!

Looking into taking a B12 supplement. Either an injection from your surgeon's office, or an oral sublingual

I do take B12 but maybe I should try the shot and see if it does better. Thank you!

I'm 3 months post ESG and average 60 grams Protein and around 700 calories daily. I too was feeling tired. I started a Water aerobics class and it has boosted my energy. It may be just from getting out of the house but it has worked for me. I did notice an increase in appetite the first several days but my appetite has returned to baseline.

I am about to join a gym so maybe that will help me too!! Thank you!

My surgeons office recommends a nasal spray, Nascobel. You spray in one nostril once a week. After week one my energy was pretty good, and one less thing to worry about taking daily,

Yes, I did really like Nascobel. My surgeon's office gave me a few samples. Unfortunately it wasn't covered by my otherwise good insurance??

Oh, yeah I was the same. I’d nap just about every afternoon. I was so tired one day, I thought I was going to fall off my treadmill. I’m not a good sleeper but I’d be out for 8+ hours a night. The energy levels picked up at about 6 months when I started maintenance was eating more & added small amounts of whole or multi grains. Unfortunately this last month or so I’m back to sleeping poorly.

Can I get that over the counter?

Oh no! I'm glad to see I'm not alone on this but I really hate being sleepy all day. Thanks for the response!
