So, I am 7 weeks out and all of a sudden I have no energy.  I eat about the same amount of protein daily and am trying to phase into solids.  I am so tired and my body feels incredibly weak.  Any suggestions??

Fluids?  Are you getting 64oz? 
Fatigue is a symptom of dehydration too.

Actually, I hadn't really thought about it but I don't think I have.  It has been harder to get my water in lately.  I will give that a try!  Thank you!

Anything wet counts.  Get in a least 64oz in any way, shape or form.  Nausea is another symptom of dehydration, so if your tum feels out of sorts, you should see improvement for that, too.

 I feel incredibly blah when i get dehydrated .   Sometimes i have to TALK the water into myself at first .. then a half hour later i find that i  am incredibly thirsty .

the other reason  I feel blah is when i dont get my ( flintstones gummy sours .. i know i know ) childrens chewable vitamins .  B is incredibly imporatnt to my energy level ... 

 ((((())))) 

better to chew Flintstones than nuthing at all is what I say  ...   and my labs are GREAT  4 years post  ( knock on wood ) .  of course I  EAT  a ton of great stuff  every day lol to supplement the pills ...

 I am so glad you said that about the Flinstone vitamins!!  That is what I have been taking. They are the only chewables I can stand!!

Try B Vitamins, injectable if possible, many weight loss clinics and even PCP offices offer these. Also try and find lipotropic injections which can also help to boost metabolism and burn fat at the same time. I am a medical assistant that works with ARNP that does Lapband adjustments and aftercare. we always tell adults that the flinstones vitamins are better tanone at all, though we say to use #2. Good luck!
