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.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
