Hello all. Just wondered if anyone else was feeling really tired. I was sleeved 29th May, and just feel exhausted all time. I don't feel unwell and have got my head around the fact that my weight loss is going to be super slow (around a lb a week for the last 2 weeks) despite being on fluids and now puree. The tiredness is weird. Don't get me wrong I don't regret this, not for one second. Just wondered if anyone has any tips. Thank you and good luck to all in your new lives.

Feeling tired at this stage is totally normal...what we have to remember, is even tho there are just a few little scars on the outside; our insides have been all jumbled, sliced and diced and stitched... we have to heal from the inside-out...

Also the anethesia and other drugs are still clearing themselves out of your system... that's why most doctors want you to wait a minimum of two weeks before even thinking about returning to work... your body needs some time...

Make sure you are taking your Vitamins and Water...very vital at this stage... if you are concerned, tho, always contact your doctor to put your mind to ease....

Good luck!

Thank you BGP, I appreciate the help. I am a little impatient and I want everything to happen at once.

Huge well done on your weight loss. Can't wait to be where you are (there I go again)!

Yep. Feeling tired at this stage is normal. I think part of it is that you're not getting a lot of nutrition and the other part is that as you lose fat, the hormones and toxins stored there make you feel icky on the way out. Also, at least for me, I did not lose much during the puree phase. Perhaps that was my (typical) 3 week stall. You'll have a few ups among the downs on the scale even when doing everything by the book. It's just your body adjusting. Just keep working your plan and it'll come off.

      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.
