Hello everyone I was banded June 25 07. I have lost
40 lbs I wish it was a little more however I will get there. I eat all my protien about 60g a day.
How ever I still feel tired and would like to know if anyone has ideas on anything to take to put pep in my step? I do have under active thyroid problem, yes taking good old Leventhyroxin, however it's still lacking.
Oh by the way yes I do have a little more energy since loosing 40lbs.:biggrin2:

Hi:

I don't know much about thyroid issues. I do know though that my energy level keeps improving as I continue to lose weight. I see that you've lost 40 pounds. I cannot tell if you still have a long way to go or not. I notice that if I forget to take my daily multi-vitamin I get exhausted.

Good luck.

Like Sue said, maybe adding a daily vitamin / B12 shot (I get these monthly) or walking to your daily routine will help. Everytime I feel down and don't think I have the energy to workout I still force myself & once I'm there and moving I'm grateful I did & I get a boost from it.
You also might want to mix your protein up a bit. If your getting that 60g a day from Protein Shakes you might want to add lean meats/fish/dairy to your diet.
Good Luck to ya~

Exercise is the only thing that started giving me energy. It doesn't seem to make sense, especially when you feel too tired to exercise. But try it out. If you can get through the before-exercise thoughts of "I'm too tired to do this" you will feel better WHILE you do it, and a lot better AFTER you do it. Believe me, I've been there, and the only thing that helped was exercising. It gets easier the more you do it. There are tons of suggestions on how to get started in the Exercise forum.
