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

      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.
