Question:
Do you eventually get more stamina as time goes on?
I am 9 mons out and down 84 lbs. My husband asked me if I will ever get any more stamina then what I have now. I exercise every day, get my protein in, my vits and my water. I told him that I think I will, just thought I would ask for input from others who have been there, done that. Thanks for any input- Sandy — sandii54 (posted on September 25, 2003)

Sandy, I was going to post this question today too. The only difference
for me is that I am 11 weeks out. I just saw my doctor on Monday he said
to give it some time as my body still thinks I am starving it...compared to
how I ate before. Makes sense to me, but it is getting depressing.
Exercise is difficult when you don't feel like putting one foot in front of
the other...however I continue to try. Looking forward to your responses.
Good luck to you!

I guess a lot of that depends on how much stamina you have right now! And
are we talking hiking/walking, what? I am just about 8 months and have
been suprised how I easily I can leave my hubby and kids in the dust...even
after not exercising for two months. Of course, I do push myself hard each
and every time I exercise (even on the days when I start out thinking I
will just take it easy) and am always setting new goals for time, distance
or weight for myself. Also try looking back and remembering what things
were like 9 months ago...you might be surprised.

If your stamina/energy levels are low at 9 months out maybe you should talk
to your Doc. By 6-5 months I was flying around like a wild woman with more
energy than ever in my life. Requiring less sleep and able to go like the
energizer bunny. at 1 year I have never felt better, even tho I am slightly
anemic. maybe you need your labs checked, and/ or to talk to a dietician.

At 9 months out, you shouldn't be tired. How do your labs look? Have your
PCP or surgeon do a complete work up and tell them that you still feel
tired. Unless you're still very overweight, I would think you should have
plenty of stamina at this point.
