So today is day 6 and up until now I was feeling great. Today I feel so tired and run down. I hope this passes.

Make sure your getting enough Protein, if your not getting around 60 grams of protein especially while on liquid diet you will be very tired. I is also possible to be tired from being dehydrated so make sure your getting your fluids. Hope this helps and good luck.

Its hard for me to get my Protein in. I try to start with a shake in the morning. Then drink Water in between. broth for lunch 1-2oz. Jello in between. But it takes me 2hrs just to get half of it down.

I feel your pain. I'm 8 days out and today I had to go up and lay down during the middle of visiting with family. I promptly fell asleep for almost 2 hours. I know that I'm not getting enough Protein or liquid but I physically can't injest any more than I already am! I have 6 days left on liquid and I cannot wait for it to be over already. I am scheduled to see the Dr Monday and plan to ask about getting a nurse to come to my house and give me an IV. I'm so dehydrated!

You've had major surgery and you are not eating anything. You are bound to be tired! It was three weeks before I could go all day without a nap, and I was eating all my Protein in. It's only been six days and your body is in serious shock

^^^ to the girl above me, if you are seriously dehydrated you shouldn't be waiting until Monday to get an IV started! You can do serious damage to your kidneys if you stay too dehydrated for too long. Call your doctor now and ask them what they think you should do.

I was tired for the first few weeks. I remember week 3 was the worst for me because that was also the week I went back to work. It got better, but it took a couple of weeks. Your body needs to rest. It will get better!

Ok so tyat day was just a one off. I've been great the past few. And last night was able to eat a whole pudding cup usually I finish only half in like two hrs. I am so excited.
