No energy

I weighed myself today and discovered I had lost 21 kilos since my op on Jan 16. I am excited but I am finding I am seriously lacking energy, especially since my 2nd fill last week (march 25)

I usually have oats for brekkie, maybe a yoghurt for lunch (find it hard to eat lunch) a banana in the afternoon and a small dinner, usually an omlette or quiche, sometimes a stir fry.

I am glad to be 20 kilos lighter, but i battle to get out of bed and keep up with my son. i need healthy, lap band friendly food.

Can anyone help, i would be most greatful:biggrin2:

Thank you very much

sounds like your protein intake is low.

if you cant get solid protein in, maybe a slight unfill to allow it or sprinkle some protein powder in some of your liquid-y type foods.

that may help.

Swap your breakfast of oats and yoghurt for some high protein. Did you know that a poached egg and slice of fatfree bacon is lower in calories (and fat!) than cereal and skim milk or oats? You will feel much better for it - more energy and will feel fuller for longer.

I am taking the advice which was given to me which included protein to stop hunger. You have done really well since Jan keep up the good work, but unlike me you have a youngster to run around after so yep you cant get tired which a child will do to you. I got banded on 18 sep 2007 and lost 27 kilos so you doing real real well, i started at weight 102. lost from 115 over 2 years myself before the band, we will over come our problems and get to our goal!

Add in the protein as suggested, but also watch your iron intake. Anemia can make you feel low-energy. Your doc can test for it pretty easily.
