you probably aren't getting enough Water. try to get in as much as possible(and I know it is not easy)

Also, my doctor had me on sugar free carnation instant Breakfast mixed with skim milk, that was my saving grace, took me all day to drink one, but it helped me feel better.

Good Luck, it does get better :)

It took me a total of 4 weeks to really start feeling like myself again. I still have to pay attention to my body because when it tells me I need to rest, it means NOW :) Give yourself time and be kind to yourself.

part of leaving the hospital was I had to keep down 2 oz of this, so I was able to have it 2 days after surgery. You should be fine. Just check around the stores before you go, a lot of them don't carry the sugar free kind.

Really hope you start to feel better, the first week was pretty tough for me and once I was allowed purees I think that was my turning point. Hang in there.

I'm curious, where you are and what doctor told you not to have Protein for 7 days? No wonder you're weak!!

      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.
