paxie 0 Posted June 21, 2009 I noticed a difference when I don't have enough Protein. Adding a spoonful of Protein Powder to whatever I eat helps me when I start getting drained... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SpideyMom 1 Posted June 21, 2009 Thanks for the link, singin! I take a lot of Vitamins for my fibromyalgia, so I will definitely check that out! Less of me, my surgeon said I could start taking Vitamins right away, but then again, each doc is different! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mamadot 0 Posted June 26, 2009 My friend (who is also banded) just gave me some under-the-tongue tiny B12 Vitamin pills. I believe B12 is also given as a shot to boost energy, as a friend who had Gastric Bypass 8 years ago used to get B12 shots. I'm trying the pills. Also, I've been drinking a really good pre-made Protein Shake with 30 grams of Protein every morning for Breakfast (low fat, low carb, low calorie (160) - from costco - I think 'Premier' is the brand - $24 for case of 18). I used to drag in the mornings because I was a carboholic pre-band, but now having the protein shake and solid protein for lunch I am doing much better. I also have better energy level when I'm exercising consistently. Cutting caffiene and sugar can definately give you temporary decreased energy. Hang in there, all! :thumbup: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
