Up and out today...although I can't remember a time in my life where I had so little energy. I did down an 8oz Protein shake this morning...which is good due to Fluid and 20oz of Protein. Hopefully that helps.

In underestimated recovery and am going to take another week off of work. Need proper time to recover.

Thanks for the support all.

Best of luck. It gets better. Don't be afraid to push a little more when you can.

Yep, I am 3 months out and fatigue and naps took longer than I'd thought. But it does get better (and I still like naps!)

I'm 6 days out and I know how you feel. I just have to have my fluids with me all the time and sip all the time. Yesterday was the closest I've gotten to getting all my Protein in. Hang in there, rest up and walk walk walk, plus those fluids.

I day 5 as well! I am so tired And getting fluids in is challenging. Good job on getting a Protein Shake in. I have yet to get a whole one down over the course of a day. Maybe today will be the day. I think one of the reasons I am so tired is because the sleep I am getting is crappy. The pain on my left side is still pretty bad and sleeping on my back is not ideal.

I hear you on the sleep. It's rough. sleep is the best surgery recovery tool but elusive.

      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.
