I've not had energy since surgery 6-25. I went to Water aerobics today and when I got home I have felt like a could run a marathon i'm only 21 lbs down but feel like I did when I was a cheer leader in hs. Its an amazing feeling when you not only see your body change but when you feel healthy again. Best thing I could have ever done <3

Well Congratulations! I can't wait to experience that feeling...I am going to the gym at least 4 times a week. I am not sure if I should be aiming for 6 days a week...oh well, slow but steady...LOL!

My surgery was 4 weeks ago, yesterday. On the days I have lots of energy, I have LOTS of energy! On the days when I have no energy, I really have NO energy! Thankfully, I have more good days than bad now, and even on the "bad" days I make myself go to the Y, to walk on the treadmill for at least 30 minutes. All the best to you! :)

I had surgery 6/25 and I'm still lacking energy... you're giving me hope it's going to pick up soon. But I'm also have sleeping problems so that could be it too. I'm a teacher and not having a routine right now is killing my eating and exercising habits! We go back a month from yesterday and as much as I want summer never to end I NEED to get a routine going again. I lost 65 lbs pre-op and was going to the gym 3-4 days a week! Ugh!

      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.
