I'm only 8 wks out but I've struggles with the same thing plus fainting. I was told I was being too strict with my low carb and to allow a bit more balance with getting a few carbs in. It's helped with my energy some. I still get tired but nowhere like it was before.

VITAMINS!

Go to your doctor and get your blood work checked to see if you are deficient in any Vitamins.< /p>

How many calories are you eating? Yes, the Protein is important but so are carbs and calories for energy esp if you work out a lot. Check with your dr and/or nut.

Thanks everyone for the info. I have an appt on July 30 th so it should be good. I'm getting my bloodwork done on Saturday. But I'm going to up my Water intake too. I have been taking in about 80-90 grams a day.

      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.
