Weightbgone - things will get better. Your ticker does not say how long you have been sleeved...assuming a short time frame ago? Your body is getting dramatically less calories, sugar than before...it is not happy and now your are lethargic. Make sure you drink enough, commit to get out and walk four times a day for 15 minutes. Grab your bottle of liquids, sip and then walk. No matter what. Yes, it is easy to lie down and nap but then you are not tired at night and then your body is truly mixed up.

Hugs to you.

Also - are you taking your Vitamins? And your B12? And getting in the right amount of Protein? And the right amount of fluids? All these are critical to getting your energy levels back to normal.

Good Luck!

Hey again, weightbgone! I've been taking the sub-lingual B-12s from costco and they've really helped with my energy level. We were sleeved around the same time, so I feel your pain. I think it'll get better though as our bodies figure everything out.

      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.
