Hello guys! I tried to do a very basic exercise video to tone my inner thighs (it was about 10 minutes) and it damn near killed me. I had the sleeve about a month and a half ago and I feel like someone has sucked the life source out of me. I felt dizzy and needed to rest after. At my heaviest, I could workout harder than this. Is this normal? My cousin who was sleeved was RUNNING after her surgery. I am afraid to even try it again. Anyone else experience this?

Maybe you're not eating enough Protein before your workout. I was having dizzy spells and it was because I wasn't eating enough and possibly dehydrated.

How active were you before surgery? I was doing Water aerobics 3 times a well pre-op. I resumed on week 3 and I can do the entire 1 hour class no problem.

I had to same problem. I do my workout 5 in the morning. Its too early for me to eat so I just drink my Protein Shake. But I will have kind of fruit (usually a banana),milk and either yogurt or Peanut Butter for more Protein. Once I started this, I was fine. My NUT told me it was my sugar levels. I needed eat something.

I wasn't very active before the surgery. But I was able to walk 3.25 miles and I was 40 lbs heavier than I am now. I think my nutrition may be the problem.

Yes it's probably nutritional. I was so weak and exhausted until about 2 months out. Now I'm a little under 3 months and have tons of energy and can eat whatever... Just give it time. ????

      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.
