I doubt they will put you on bed rest just cause you have no energy but then again I'm not a doctor either. Its part of being pregnant. I quit my job cause all I did was sleep and throw up my first trimester and I'm still fatigue at 17 weeks. I know everyone cant do that but maybe cutting back on hours if possible may help. Talk to your doctor and see what they say. Good luck.

Okay so I went to my Ob today and got sent to the ER to get fluids. In dehydrated my blood pressure is low and to top it off I have a UTI. They are going to give me an IV at home, waiting on approval from insurance.

Take care yourself. Dehydration will happen a lot if you don't keep fluids in ya. Trust me...I deal with it a few times a month and usually can get myself back on track. Few times I've needed a IV. Good luck and try as hard as you can to get fluids in.

I'm sorry you're feeling so drained. I felt the same way but my issue was low Iron. I now get Iron infusions 3x/week. Hope you feel better soon.

      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.
