Wow! Good luck with the energy thing. If you have a pedometer, maybe you could try to incorporate steps during the day. I used to have a desk job and would go out during lunch and walk through a nearby plant nursery. It was good for me mentally and physically.

I am feeling weaker than I was in the beginning. I think it's because I got so tired of the Protein shakes that when I got to mushy food I tried to get all my Protein through food. I just couldn't get it all in. Now I'm trying different Protein Shakes for variety and eating foods that have more protein bang for the bite. I feel like it's two steps forward and one step back. Little by little, it's getting better.

Maybe a Saturday morning would work best. Not much, but it might motivate us to do better on our own during the week. This Saturday is bad for me, though. I'll message ArkGirl and maybe you two could meet.

If you didn't see earlier, my name's Carol, sleeved 8/31 by Dr. Clayton Frenzel.

I feel the same about the two steps forward one back thing. I'm on puréed this week and I think I'm having the same issue. I'm truly not meeting my Protein goal and I think I'm dehydrated again. Today I'm gonna focus hard on Water. My kidneys are screaming

Hi I'm Jessica, I was sleeved on 07/05,by Dr. West moorland in Dallas. I was having the same issues you are having with Protein and Water. I'm still having that problem almost 3months later. If you want to walk we can do it but I have to let you know on the weekend I'm up walking at 6am.LOL

      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.
