I'm 2 weeks 1 day out and have had a pretty easy time so far except of course the gas at first. I've had no nausea or vomiting until yesterday. I ate lunch and about 20 minutes later I was so nauseated. I vomited lunch. I remember reading that just because something sat okay once, it could very well not sit so easily next time. No big deal. Another live and learn lesson in the books. Today, I woke up feeling just icky, the only way I can describe it. I have to clean my house, do laundry, get my hair colored and bags packed before I go to CA for my grandpa's funeral. Problem is, I have no energy. I took my shower this morning and getting out and getting my bra on was almost all that I could stand. I feel zapped and I haven't done anything on my list yet. Any ideas to get to feeling halfway normal!?!? I have a lot to do today and no patience to wait around like a bump on a log.

Make sure your getting enough Protein and taking your B12. If you are tired like that for to long check with doc because I believe it can be a sign of a leak. Hope you get to feeling better soon :)

Protein, protein and liquids liquids. You also have to get plenty of rest, your body is still trying to heal itself, so it is going to need rest time. Don't take ANY supplements until you talk to your doctor, especially caffeine.

      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.
