MY ASS IS DRAGING.....

All right Im now 1 month post op and I have very little energy....ugh... I went to GNC and got some sub lingual B12 Im getting 60 - 100 gms of protein a day I still am having to work at getting all my fluids in some days better then others but for the most Im getting them in ....... so whats up? You think the B12 is going to help ? Thanks Jenny B Wise

Have you had blood work drawn? You may want to.... I crashed badly in January and my vitamins were extremely low... dangerously low. I'd give your PCP a call. It's better to be safe than... Brandee

Thanks Brandee !!!! Ill see the Dr on the 7th and get labs done then.....

When do you see your surgeon? When is your first blood work scheduled? Are you staying on top of the calcium and vitamins? Can you loan me 50 bucks? Are you keeping up on the protein with shakes or are you getting it from food? Your body used its stores of energy the first month, now it is looking for new ways to take care of itself. It is still healing, it is beginning to freak because there isn't as much food coming in. So, it is trying to slow you down. As long as you are giving it what it needs to repair itself, including more rest, you should be fine. However, your surgeon and program should be able to give you the best advice, call "em up! Just kidding about the $50.

I see the surgeon on may 7th for 6wk follow up and labs .....I always get one chew vit in but sometimes forget to take the 2nd.....I always get my protein in with a mix of it from food and shakes... my eyes are green and my blood type is O+. lol That makes perfect sense Jane but you know I just hate to slow down.... oh well Thanks

Hey Jenny I started taking a liquid B complex this week and feel it has helped with my energy levels. B-12 sublingual from GNC should be fine I have some on hand just in case I start to lose energy. I also started back at the gym last Thursday and I find I am wiped afterwards... So its all trial and error. Keep on taking those vitamins they are key as we are not getting anything else in to keep that up. I take one in the morning and and one in the evening. You are doing great... Keep taking those vitamins... ELisa

Thanks Elisa....Im hoping the B12 will help...... You know Im just a go girl and this is putting a serious crimp is my style !!!!! lol

I know how you feel I am go girl too I am always on the run but ya know we did just have major surgery and its our bodies way of telling us hey slow down girlfriend..LOL Good luck hun and keep us posted. XO Elisa

Hay Jenny....Need to get the vitamins in!!! Very important to take them!!! I never really had a low energy level like dragging...I am just lazy all the time...LOL... but I would call your WLS and see what they suggest you do. Maybe you are just doing to much to soon. Keep us posted. Hugs Judy

Yeah Yeah Yeah ......I hear ya !!!!! Ill make the point of taking 2 a day all the time... you know Im just a goer and this is like some fairy sprinkled sleeping dust on me...lol Grandpa thinks its my body's way of slowing me down he says Ive been doing way to much and I asked him how else is it going to get done ? huh ? lol Jenny b Wise
