Topic: RE: hows everybody's energy level doing?
I too am whooped. I have to chase around 3 small kids all day and by the time my husband gets home I need a nap. Sometimes I nap for several hours. I keep staring at the treadmill but I'm always so cold or too tired to get on it! Walking around the mall or the grocery store wears me out too. I can't wait to get some more energy so I can feel better.
I'm having a really hard time getting in enough calories. I'm sure that's not helping. It sure is tough to juggle the supplements, water, protein and just what to eat each day. I hope all that gets easier soon!

Topic: RE: green poop
Well, my poop has ONLY been green! Except for that infamous first post op poop, but we won't even go there! 
But I am not on any iron and it's still green. I didn't worry about it. Let me know what your doc said.

I did better when i was just on protein shakes...I am thinking of going back there for a couple of meals... and I got some slow iron today which might be something to try...( hope it doesn't cause that other problem wetalked about...
) And I thought the waiting for surgery part was rough! know it will eventually balance out but i guess i am just one impatient bugger!!!!

Topic: RE: hows everybody's energy level doing?
i was definitely dragging for a while... maybe even up until last week. upping the water intake made a big difference, and eating more little meals throughout the day. i used to be able to walk a few miles, and then across the supermarket was a long way. At least i can once again climb the stairs in my home without resting at the top before continuing to whatever i was doing.
Read my blog, BARIATHLETE I run because I can.

Topic: RE: green poop
I think green is normal, you're putting a lot of vitamins in your system, so I wouldn't worry to much, but of course, if you're are concerned than you are absolutely right to call the surgeon.

Topic: RE: hows everybody's energy level doing?
I am probably not doing the intake issues quite as well as i should.. the holidays have been messing with my schedule...In a few more days i will have absolutely no excuses not to set up a good solid schedule...my husband will be away and i have no wor****il march...( nothing but time and snow to shovel..woo hoo..)
hopefully that will work....I have a gym...got a pool membership( who needs flipers..i have mud flaps! and an oversized t shirt!) and with 5 Border Collies i need to be the daily dog walker...got to get it going here...
If it stays this hard i will call my doc and get some labs done..maybe something is going off base...but hopefully it will sort itself out on it's own...
not looking forward to a New england winter feeling like this though!
Glad to hear your progress though...you have done so great...I am proud as can be...
hugs..sue

Topic: RE: hows everybody's energy level doing?
My energy is not quite where it was before surgery. At least I am not getting tired just putting on my bra anymore like I did the first few post op weeks.
I can walk about 3.7 miles in an hour with out pushing too hard. And my weight is moving.
Some days I feel more energy than others. Like today, I am fighting crawling back in bed since I got up!
How are you doing on water, protein and supps? How much water are you required to get daily?

Topic: hows everybody's energy level doing?
Just wondering how everybody is feeling in general...i know we are all getting the kinks worked out in the food department... and the poop department...and the supplement department....
But how about the energy department.? I have always been able to get up and get it going but lately i feel like an dirty old rung out dishrag.... totally not true to my usual form... I was so thinking I could get it moving by now but I can hardly evenwalk one mile...let alone the 2 i was doing daily before the surgery. I was doing great for the first 3 weeks but these last couple feel like i have an energy leak big time....( the weight is going nowhere too...)
I am trying to stay positive but just wondering if anybody else has this happening as well...

Topic: RE: green poop
Yes I go from mustard yellow to green.
It has not bothered me and I don't question it, because I had bad IBS before surgery and on any given day I could poop a rainbow!
Now it's not quite as colorful and I don't have as many potty issues.
