What we seem to forget is that we just had MAJOR surgery...even tho you may have a few little incisions on the outside, inside you have been "re-routed"...unless you had the band... not listed here, so I don't know.

Give yourself time to recoup! The anesthesia alone takes a few days to get out of your system, and that tires you as well...

just relax, you will get better, promise!

I am 2 and half weeks post op and I still have times when I have no energy. It does get better each day. When I have no energy I sit down and drink my Protein Shake which takes some time when I'm done with it I force myself to get up and do something even if it's for a half an hour. Just keep taking your Vitamins and get your Protein and Water in.

I am nine days post op and I feel the same way. I'm having a hard time getting all my Protein and Water in so that may be part of it

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
