Gosh NO! I had a hysterectomy last month:)

OOPs! I sure had that one wrong....but no wonder you're exhausted. A baby, a hysterectomy and banding all within months of each other. I'd be sleepy, too.

I am 15 months post opt and at about 3 months after surgery I started to be so tired I could not stay awake to work (I work at home) or when my Grandbabies were here I find myself falling asleep, which could not go on. I went to Dr. he ran blood test and everything was okay. I am now 15 months out and still on the weekends I can sleep for hours and hours. During the day I have to drink coffee to stay awake to work or the 2 days my Grandbabies are here. I now have lost 80 lbs and had my Dr change my antidepressant from Lexapro high dose to Zoloft lowest dose and that have made it easier to stay awake. On the weekend I still can sleep for hours. My Dr. thinks that changing the foods I was eating to new foods since surgery has caused the tiredness, he said even the fact that it was larger volumes of food before to much smaller amounts of food now could make a difference. I still exercise everyday or every other day. But I stay tired all the time. I started a week ago taking prenatal Vitamins because in a book I read this Dr. gave all his Lapband people men and women prenatal vitamins. I am hoping it helps some. Also if you take certain meds like antidepressants you should stay away from grapefruit and grapefruit juice as it makes your meds stronger than they should be. I also suffer from anxiety so drinking coffee with caffine is not good for me but I have to make a living and a 14 month and 4 year old running around the house while grandma sleeps is not a good thing.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
