Yes this happens to me . Are you getting enough Protein in how about Water and just plane food are you getting enough.

I was like this for about 3-4 weeks and every now and then I still run out of energy

Have you tried any of the whey Proteins or if you don't like them there is a egg Protein Powder you can get. I have never tryed it I stick with

carnation instant Breakfast no sugar added its 150 calories with 8 oz of skim milk has 8 carbs and 26 g of protein. I like the taste that's just my opinion.

A lot of people on this Fourm use powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury protein powder unflavored. I have never tryed it

Good luck

I am 2 weeks out as well and feel completely drained.I have no energy. I thought the first week was just because I was still on Clear liquids no Protein, no vitaments. This past monday i started puree's and Protein supplements. First i thoughtit was not getting enough fluids and kicked those up. Im getting apprx 50 grams of protein. Its a full time job calculation and keeping tract of how much I have had to drink and my protein.

My goal today is to focus on the fluids and add protein to what i can.

I use the unjury brand and the opurity Vit's and did not have any trouble with the taste pre or post op.

As a side - My daughter (26 yo) asked me to make her a holloween outfit ..... since im home not doing anything. All I could do is smile and grit my teeth.

      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.
