6 weeks. I now feel great! Not run down, HAPPY. I use to be really shy and quiet but find myself opening up and feeling great.

I also got sick at 5 weeks. Hang in there. chicken bullion cubes were a life saver. :D

Yeah, after 3 weeks I felt like the king of the world - so it's definately your infection. Look after yourself! :)

I'll be honest, for some reason it took about 6 to 8 weeks for me to get my "pep" back. I started working after about 3 weeks out, 12 hours shifts, and I think I went back too early, but I had no energy it seemed like for a long time. Once this passes, you'll feel amazing! Your in my prayers.

I got a sinus infection over Christmas at 6 weeks. I was exhausted. Fast forward to last week- I got the flu! I just want to feel better! I told my boyfriend- I am so sick of being sick.

This is a hard time to have such a major surgery with cold and flu season in full swing. It's hard to go back to full activity on so little food, and harder still if you have a bug. I think you'll find once you get over it you'll snap back pretty quickly. You're over the worst hurdles....ok most of them....just get rid of the sniffles! Take care

      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.
