Energy Levels
My energy level today...is zilch. I didn't sleep well last night. I did take. 2 hour nap today which I haven't done since surgery. My larger incision is bothering me, too. I feel like a big whine bag! I'm drinking 60-64oz and getting 60-70grams of protein in. Where is all this energy people talk about? I don't want to get up out of my chair today! Whine over...
It happens. Don't beat yourself up over it.
What type of B-12 are you taking - Sublingual, shot, or nasal spray? Some people on the shot report low energy right before they need their next shot. I do the sublingual.
If the weather there is as crappy as here, you may just be suffering from the blah's.

Ive ben on B12 since my 1 week post op visit. I am just fine with the sublingual (the one you put under your tounge and let dissolve). Some people hate it. If you are one of those, ask him for a scrip for the nasal spray. The people I know who do that love it. If his office is like mine, he probably has a ton of discount cards to help with the co-pay.

Its how the vitamin gets absorbed. Theres a few options - either through the gums, through the mucous membranes in the nose, or through an injection. B-12 doesn't get absorbed in the stomach or intestines like your multi-vitamins or calcium. You have to take B-12 through one of the other 3 forms.

I'm right there with you today so don't feel bad. I am only 5 days post-op, had lots of energy yesterday and probably overdid it. As I keep reminding myself, we did have major trauma to our bodies and I personally think the anesthesia remains for some.
I'll bet you feel better tomorrow. I'm planning to!
