Hello, I am constantly tired. I have no energy. I am drikning as much as I can (Water, protien shakes, etc..) and I am trying to eat soft foods...little to no success there. I am getting 400-800 calories a day. I do not have any surgery related pain to speak of. I am just completely fatigued all day every day. Does anyone else have this issue or any advise for me to get over this hump? Stats: Surgery Date: 04/17/2014 (19 days ago) Starting Weight : 287 Weight on day of surgery : 271 lbs Current Weight : 248 lbs Weight Lost since beginning : 39 lbs Weight Lost After Surgery : 23 lbs

What about Spaghetti Squash?

Recycled, Thanks for your input. I am a tennis pro. i am on my feet running/jogging/walking all day. My concern ultimately was am i getting enough calories/protein to support myself and my daily activities. I can pull about 2 miles on the treadmill but I am exausted - really exausted- after. At my heaviest of 290 I could still do 4+ miles. After speaking with my dr I am gonna boost my Protein and Vitamin intake and hopefully thats gonna help me stabilize. thanks agian!

As a follow up: I called my Dr office. They suggested that i increase Protein to 90 - 100g. We will see!

http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/seafood-cioppino-stew-recipe.html Cioppino Stew is delicious - its similar to what you were describing with out the Pasta. The broth is amazing. As a fellow liquid dieter - this is what i would bring

Debi, how many grams of Protein do you suggest ...I am trying for 70g a day. How much more do you think I need to shoot for 100?

I was sleeved on Apr 17. When I drink, which is all I can do at the moment, if feels and sounds like there is a gas exchange happening or the water is replacing gas in my stomach. Is that what the bubbling and grumbling is and does this last?

Sugar free Popsicles are the ticket!

Thanks! Duly noted

Thank you Linda. I'm not stressing over it at all- I am 100% on board, but I was wondering if this was a common post op symptom.
