I'm feeling really well at this point...No hunger...Not much pain at all...but NO ENERGY!!!! Zip Zilch Zero Energy. My question to you all is should I try a Protein bullet this early in the game. I have class in two days and worried about not being able to finish my class work. reading, paper, quiz and a test all this week. Class isn't until Tuesday. Just wondering if protein bullet would be pushing things I don't want to push. TIA for your input. :)

I have been drinking one bottle of Isopure for 40 grams of protein every day, and I have also been drinking a 25 gram protein shot. I have heard that the Protein Shots are the "wrong" kind of protein but my NUT said they are ok. I also have very little energy. I am ok for the first hour or two after I get up in the morning, but after that I am bushed. I am anxious to hear what the old pros say about this.

Sounds like we are in the same boat.....not getting in enough Water, not enough Protein and I have absolutely NO ENERGY WHATSOEVER!!! I feel horrible, I need some help! I feel like i am constantly drinking but I know I am not getting enough fluids and as for protein, it is the worst! I tried a Protein Powder shake and could only get half down!!! I need some motivation.....

I am in the same boat. It's been a little better the past few days, but I sure hope this is just a normal phase and it goes away soon. I am still on Clear liquids, but I've had to take the Protein powders mixed with Water just to get by my day. Every one says to walk, walk, walk, but how I am I supposed to walk when I have no energy.

I am also taking the Protein Shots since my preop liquid diet, but I can't stand the taste anymore.

I hope someone has some advice for us.

      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.
