I also experienced this with me working 13 hour shifts as a nurse being on my feet all night. Now my plan says I do not need a b-12 supplement but everything I have read says I do and that it will help with energy and metabolism. So I have found a sub lingual supplement to try and see if it works.

I too am scheduled on 1/27 and I feel your pain. I'm at a point now where I'm so bored with my food choices and tired of Soup, that I have to force myself to eat even though I'm starving. I would rather go hungry than eat soup or fudgesicles. I just want this over with. My energy level has suffered a bit, but I've been taking my multi-vitamins so the fatigue is not that bad. This diet sucks!!! I have fasted from sun up until sunset for 30 days straight for Ramadan every year, but nothing compares to this.

THANKS CLIFF,

Your energy level will get better but it may take a while if you're like me. Keep up with the Protein Shakes and take Multi Vitamins. With me I believe that part of the fatigue was caused by depression because I was mourning overeating. That went away as I saw success on the scale. Best wishes to you.

I have more energy than I know what to do with. After about 4 days post op, and with maybe 2 afternoons where I needed a nap, I have had an abundance of energy. Way more than I had prior to surgery. I feel like this is the best think I have ever done for myself!

      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.
