Things are good. Just physically drained, no energy. Lack of food, but exercising is taking its toll. Other than that I am down 45 Lbs.

I got a ride. Once there I was so busy with everything they were doing I didn't have a much time to dwell on what was going on.

45 pounds is awesome!! I am definitely worried about the no energy. I have a demanding job in that aspect. I took an extra 2 weeks off work to get my stuff together. :)

What do you do (work)? I only took 9 work days off. People thought I was crazy, But i had to go back just to stay busy. Being drained is most likely my own fault, I tend to push myself. Ex. they couldn't keep me in the hospital bed. I was up walking laps around nurses station. Kept teasing me saying I was training for a marathon. lol

I was sleeved 2/12, amd the first 2 weeks I had no energy at all. Now I am on creamed food and I have noticed the change in my energy. Just make sure you pack your creamy Soups right. For example, I do cream of broccoli, spinach, and watercress. Helps A LOT. Best of luck!

I'm a Paramedic. I was originally going to take 2 weeks off, but I know that my first call would require some weird twisting/lifting/positioning and I didn't want to risk it. Plus I do a lot of lifting and I don't want to go back feeling too weak. 12 hour shifts can be rough!

I think cream soups are considered "thick liquids" per my surgeon. I'm required to get 80-100 ounces of thin liquids plus 90 grams of Protein in for 2-3 days BEFORE moving to thick liquids.

The "what not to eat" list has me nervous. I don't want to make myself sick or do what I'm not supposed to do...

      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.
