I don't know. I guess I think he'll be concerned with my energy levels dropping or something from all the running around or the increased activity without being able to take in enough food for fuel. I know I can't lift or help patients up too much because I'm still healing. I know how to take it easy and I work with a great team so they're always willing to help.

Jen I went back to work full time after 2.5 weeks. I have been exhausted, but fine. I am a coordinator at a hospital. A lot of walking back and forth, but not extremely stressful.

Good luck!

I'm having a lot of weakness also. It will be 3 weeks since my surgery on Tues. I am not ready to go back to work. Just getting dressed in the morning is exhausting. Has anyone tried New Whey Protein Shots? I think I'm weak due to not getting enough Protein. But I still haven't been able to find anything that I can tolerate. I get so nauseated. If it wasn't for my lack of energy I would be able to go back to work now. I'm eating soft foods and doing well. But not enough to meet my daily requirements.

Try the Unjury vanilla Protein Shakes. Just add about 2 ounces more of Water. Its very easy to dissolve and ypu can add a little peanut buttet or banana or a teaspoon of instant coffee to it. That drink was a lifesaver for me. I also really like the Champion chocolate brownie. I get mine from my surgeons office but it can be ordered on line from Amazon as well.

      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.
