How's everyone's energy level? After two weeks, mine is fairly poor. I can get through a day at work but can't imagine exercising again. It will take time...

October List of Surgery's
jjod replied to 60&goin4it's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Same here! Although I think I found something that doesn't repel me or take too long to drink. vanilla and soymilk with unflavored unjury. I'm going to have my third serving later. Might hit 70g today. Still need more Fluid though. Counting minutes until Wednesday when I get puréed foods. I want tuna with mayo. Yippee.???????? -

Welcome back Ron!! Whew. -
It's very weird realizing that I don't really have much of a stomach. I guess you have to lose something in order to gain something. And god knows I abused it!! But it's out there somewhere and I have a very different body and different life. Quite surreal!!!!

This is a good point. I've been monitoring my food on MyFitnessPal. Not sure what the settings should be for calories/protein/carbs/fats... What are you all doing????? -

Trader joes has one 30g of protein per serving they have unflavored and vanilla. It is soy based Sent from my SM-N915P using Tapatalk Thanks. This summer I fell in love with Vega One which has veggie protein. Have tubs in every flavor. (My huge stock pile of supplies is definitely coming in handy. It's all by my bed and drives my hubby nuts.) -

Very interesting. So was my husband who had the sleeve 4 years ago. With the 5 million rules that I was given, I can't believe that one was left out. ???? -

I'm the opposite. My extreme diarrhea and dehydration may be from lactose intolerance. Was anyone told to stop dairy? Most protein is milk based. -
I thought I was the only one that felt that way! I do miss my stomach so much because I crave Water. I feel so dehydrated and helpless. I agree. But I think we are in the worst stage and that it gets better.

It's sugar free. I hope so. I need electrolytes. Quite desperate. -

I have the opposite problem. Struggled to get fluids in (only 40 oz) but have had diarrhea for two days. Had my hubby bring home Gatorade2 for electrolytes. Definitely calling the nurse tomorrow. -

Thanks. I agree with water being nasty. I add crystal light pure to it. It's been my fav for a while. It's amazing how my appetite went bye-bye with my stomach. And that it took thirst with it. -

I can't imagine leaving the house or even driving. Probably part of the depression. I did set my alarm to beep every 15 min. Feeling a little stronger. Thinking of having a more carbs, like from milk. Seems like I've taken them too low. Thanks everyone???? -

No. Only after two sips I get the tightness. I'm completely repealed by food and drink. I know this will improve but I'm getting depressed. I'm sipping today no matter what. Scared of ending up back in the hospital. -

I'm one week out and going crazy. I'm very weak. Don't want to sip ever again. I know I'm dehydrated. Went 6 hours without drinking yesterday. Just slept. Boy did I pay for that one. So bored too. How do you guys keep your energy up? -

Sorry I meant drink with food. It's really scary initially to vomit, hiccup or disrupt belly in any way. I would think 5 min is enough. -

Never eat with food again. Takes up too much room. Are you supposed to be eating so soon? Most of us are doing two weeks of liquid diet and then we start puréed foods for a few weeks. -
