Vitamin B12. It's a liquid you drop under your tongue for natural energy. It's a life saver.

that and make sure you are getting in your Multivitimins, Protein and liquids. Good luck!

Being tired is usually an indication of lack of Protein. The previous poster said B12, but my doc warned that it does not always give everyone a sense of energy. While you new to make sure you are taking your b12 don't stop taking it if you don't feel an energy boost.

Protein is essential for energy it is the fuel for our body. Make sure you are getting in all your protein as a starting point.

Also remember you just went through major surgery and sometimes it takes our body a little while to recover.

After I workout I have this amazing burst of energy for hours, I know those are the endorfins, I just wish they could put endorfins in a pill form - LOL :)

I went thru several months of being tired, and seems like a lot of people say they did too. I think its part of our bodies way of adjusting to all the changes we have put it thru with the surgery and stuff.. Keep up with all Vitamins and stuff and stay on top of lab-work. Hopefully it will pass soon.

I was 7 weeks yesterday and this is the first week since surgery that I feel like I actually have energy. Make sure to stay hydrated and take your Iron and eat your Protein, as much as you can. And rest all you can if you are feeling tired. Remember, slow and steady wins the race.

      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.
