Topic: RE: low energy?? anyone else
My doc has me taking a b-12 daily, and I also have at least one protien shake a day. I also feel if I don't get my protien in I am very tired by the end of the day. You also got to take into consideration the fact that the amount of calories you are taking in on a daily basis post op compared to pre-op is drastically less and your body needs time to get used to being able to burn less calories for the same amount of activities!! Hang in there, nobody said this was the easy way out!!

Rita,
I know it's hard but you can't compare yourself with anyone else. At least that is what I keep telling myself.
You are doing great and have me beat. I lost 22 for my first month. Now I am at 25 lost, at just over 5 weeks.
I thought I would have lost around 30 for the first month and that was a disappointment when it didn't happen. I keep second guessing myself, am I am eating too much or eating to little. I am supposed to eat 6 1/2 cup servings a day, with 60 grams of protein. I usually only get 3 -4 servings a day. I get the protein in most days and liquids most days.
I am walking at least a mile everyday and trying to get in extra water to get the weight moving a little faster.
Don't worry we had the surgery. It has to come off, right????

Wow all of ya'll are doing GREAT! I'm beginning to think that i am behind by about ten lbs! I just started exercising today and did about 5 minutes on the eliptical and about ten minutes on the bikes. I know this isn't a lot but I have to ease into things or I get frustrated and give up completely! I hope that I am not screwing this up. I had hoped to lose at least 31-35 lbs the first month and I am disappointed in myself. I feel like I am eating too much. I need to start recording what I am eating. Maybe I am grazing but I don't feel like it. Today I had one piece of toast with peanut butter on it. For lunch I had leftover casserole (about 1/3 of a cup) for dinner I had about 1/3 cup of refried beans with some guacamole (not much maybe a teaspoon if that). That is all I have eaten all day. I did have my protein test tube. I have not had my 64 oz of water today but I have had about 55.
Anyway..i feel like I shoudl be further than I am at 5 weeks out.

Hey Rita!
I'm down 46 lbs. total and my fat pants look silly on me now (I wore a pair today and saw my reflection after I got to work). Those are going to goodwill!
I am trying to be better with the water consumption too... I wasn't a big water drinker before surgery and now I'm struggling. I too want to start excercise soon when my energy returns. People are noticing the difference, especially my husband... he can't keep his hands off of me... I've scheduled him for a vasectomy this summer!
I hope that you continue with your weightloss success!

Yes! I'm going through the same thing! I had my surgery on 3/15 and this week I have hit rock bottom when it comes to my energy. I take B12 sublingual everyday but I am having a hard time with the protien consumption and getting enough water... I'm hoping this weekend things will turn around! Right now I dread picking my 3 year old and 1 1/2 year old up from the sitter's house because they are a lot to deal with, I wish I had the energy they do!
Hang in there!
