How far from surgery out are you?

I was exhausted all the time for the first 4 weeks post op. This is my first week of having a fairly normal level of energy. I am only eating 1 ounce every 2-3 hours' date=' so I am not eating much. Everything I eat is protein-rich (sliced deli meat, cottage cheese, greek yogurt, ground meats) except for the few little slices of banana I have to eat to help with my potassium deficiency. My nut had me switch from plain Water to G2 mixed with Water and Vitamin Water Revive (Fruit Punch) mixed with water so that I was getting some sugar and carbs. That has helped tremendously with the fatigue. I was worried about the liquid calories but the G2 is really, really low. I end up with about 10-15 calories of G2 mixed with a 20 oz bottle of water.

Are you finding yourself tired every time you eat or is it specific foods?[/quote']

I am tried all the time SD 1/14 and yes i get sleepy after eating. My surgeon said I was not eating enough. I should eat 1/4 c of food 6 times a day. I told him is he kidding me I am struggling trying to get my requirement in now and u want more. Lol

Btw, I go back to work tomorrow I have no idea how I am going to make it through the day.

OMG I am cold all the time! Only when I take a hot shower I feel better for a little while .....I wonder if its the hormone changes and Protein intake.... Pre op I would get cold if I didn't have enough Protein.< /p>

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
