No Energy.....

I wish you all the luck in the world and assure you that you will be sooo happy with the results!

I get to be the same way when I'm not exercising regularly.  My sleep gets out of whack, my moods shift, I have no energy and begin craving carbs to stay awake (and a vicious cycle begins if I give in).

Are you mainting your hydration levels?  Change of medication?  Stress?

Hey Jill.  Hydration is lower than normal, but still at 70 oz a day.  No change in medication other than the brand of B-12.  I ran out of my usual king (barriatric advantage chewables, one sublingual every other day) and purchased the "dots" that I am taking every day.  Maybe this is it, although it has been almost a month that I have been on them.  I am finding myself craving those carbs, too!  I am fighting to stay out of that vicious cycle.

I feel the same way every day.  ...sigh...  it's just the combination of too much work, not enough rest, and probably not fueling my body as much as it needs

I hope you get out of your energy slump soon, becuase I know that is JUST NOT YOU!  :)

Hey Lauren.  I am so not used to this!  I hope it passes quickly and I am back to normal.  I will keep you posted and hope you are over it soon, too.  It really stinks!

Joe,

Protein is definately not an issue for me.  I drink two shakes a day (38 grams each), eat protein two or three bars or balls (average 12-15 grams each) and still drink skim milk (about 40 ounces) at 1 gram of protein per ounce.  This is in addition to my regular meals, too.  I average 130-150 grams per day.  I remember all too well about the absorbtion rate.  I am "back to normal" today.  I am not sure what was going on but I know I hated it.  I do not like feeling icky and having no energy.  It brings back memories from before I had WLS!
