Has anyone noticed an increase in energy? My surgery is a couple of days away and I;'m hoping to have more energy to get things done. It feels like I'm always tired.

You will be pretty worn out the first several weeks after surgery. I'm noticing now at 2 months out and 34 lbs down I have quite a bit of energy. I also walk 5 days a week and am joining a gym this week now that the weather is turning. Good luck and good healing with your upcoming surgery :)

Force yourself to exercise once your surgeon gives you the go ahead. It increases your metabolism and you will have new found energy...it's awesome!

YES! Before surgery it took all my energy to make it through life and I lived every hour of that life tired. Now I can sleep 7 hours and be perfectly rested all day. Never even considering a nap. That effect is better than even the weight loss itself.

@@Sunnyskies2283 that's what I am hoping to have happen to me. I didn't notice how tired I've become since putting on all of this weight. i can't wait for it to be gone!

      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.
