Just wanted to see if anyone had any advice... I am about 3 1/2 weeks post op and am extremely tired. I started back to work this week, working just 1/2 days. I go home and take a nap, I am in bed by 830 or 9pm and have been struggling to wake by 630 or 7. Is this normal or ? I am getting all my Vitamins, still struggling with Protein but that is getting better every day! Just a little frustrated today. I am feeling good otherwise, just don't have the energy to do anything this week!!!

I was exhausted for a long time. By week six you will probably feel more like yourself again.

I'm 3 weeks post op and I completely understand how you feel. Seems like I'm sleeping close to 12 hours a day between the night and naps. Trying to get my calories and Protein up but it's hard when you can only eat so much at once. Hoping each day gets a tiny bit better!!! <== She types as she nods off. :rolleyes:

I was too exhausted. However, since doing research and talking to people about Vitamins ect. I found out that majority of vitamins are only 8-10% absorbable. I started taking Zija Moringa in about month 4 or 5 post op and feel amazingly better. It's organic and 100% bioavalability (absorbed). If your on FB you can go to page of, Moringa's Ninety Nutrients for more info. I swear by it, it's the best of the best. There are two people that I know for sure started taking it from here and both feel the same way I do about it. I no longer have to take any vitamins or give myself B12 injections. Zija has every Vitamin from a-z.

Is it a liquid Vitamin or ?? I struggle with my Multivitamins... Having tried several with lots of nausea! Is this the only thing you have to take now?

I have to take my Vitamins five times a day. It's oh so fun. Didn't know there were other options!

      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.
