Question:
I had the lap band about 2 months ago, i am feeling very tired all the time.

I am taking my daily vitamins but I have stopped all other supplements, and protein shakes. Do you think that I need to start on the supplements and shakes again, or is this normal.    — bstockdale (posted on October 29, 2009)

I feel tired alot too. My doc says it's because i'm not eating eating enough protein. I have tried to only eat protein and i feel worse. Not sure whats going on. I don't have the energy to exercise either. I had surgery 7/9/09.

Are you sure your not overdoing things? With our busy lifestyles, it is very easy to try to spread ourselves too thin. Remember, you are still healing, and make yourself a priority.

you are still healing from surgery. You really should be taking a good protein supplement

You need to get your protein and other suppliments. Even the Energizer Bunny needs batteries! You might also want to start a B 12 sublingual. That helps with the energy. Also, when I got lazy and stopped taking my extra protein (I use shakes), my hair started falling out. Maybe that will be an incentive for you, too!
