5 weeks out and I am falling down tired! My recovery has been really easy and I do get tired more easily than normal but the past few days have been terrible. Slept 14 hours last night and I'm hoping to get that in tonight too... (exciting New Years plan right??) Is this all part of the recovery process or should I make an apointment?

peoples strength, tiredness varies - but it is common to be tired, how tired from one person to another?? common denominator is we're all different :lol:

14 hrs sleep new years eve???

thats ok, in the new year you'll gradually find more heath, happiness and plenty more energy!!!

good night :)

I am still pre op but all of my classes and the surgeon said to expect to be fatigued and tired the first three months due to your caloric intake going from around 3000 calaries a day to around 500-600 a day. They also said that around three months the honeymoon phase begins cause your are feeling real good and looking good too. Look forward to that!

I am 2 months out. I just started to get my stamina back. I feel much more energy on the days I take my vitimans. Yes I have been guilty of not taking them as I should have. I have since learned they do have their purpose.... So I take them as I should. Word to the wise....B12 really do help with energy levels!

      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.
