Seriously - When will it get better?

Hello!  I am not a real regular poster here but I wanted to respond to your post.  I am three years out (my surgery was 1-10-06, a laproscopic RNY) and the reason you have no energy is because your body has gone throug a HUGE transformation and it is still getting used to that change.   I remember those days VERY well myself!  I live in a split level house and seriously, just to bring up a basket of laundry a month later overwelmed me!  I had to sit down right away.  Being I had my surgery in teh dead of winter I was kind of glad the weather was always so cold - I had a great excuse not to go out and walk.  I was like, "Walk?  Is there a chair waiting for me?"  But by March or April I was feeling much better.  But I don't want to imply I felt horrid all the time.  Some days were better, and soon I felt good all the time.  Getting on the scale always helps me feel better!!!  Not shopping in the PLus section ALWAYS helps!!  Getting out my "before" photo is a good boost as well.

Have you tried other diet drinks, like Slim Fast ready made shakes or the Target brand?  Just remember, you are only a month out.  Your insides are still healing. 

I can understand your feelings towards food and liquid drinks and all that  - I have been there!  It is a HUGE change you are going through but it is all worth it!  I promise!

Thank you all for the support. It means alot.

Maybe I'm under the false impression that people about as far out as I am are feeling pretty good already. I know, everyone is different, but I figured with almost 40lbs lost since October, I'd have some relief in my knees and back and have more energy. I think that, along with thinking the recovery would be quicker, and not expecting my tastes to change so much. It just feels overwhelming at times. 

It can only get better right? Just keep on keeping on and I hope you'll start feeling better!
