Is anybody just exhausted? I saw someone say they walked the mall already??? Holy cow the bathroom and back makes me tired! My Dr requires a full week of Clear Liquids only so I think that's part of the problem... Just not taking any calories or nutrition in..

I was thinking the same thing. I have no energy. I am constantly sleeping cause of my medicine. Have to take that. I thought I would try walking around Walmart today but fell asleep to the idea ha.

I am so afraid of blood clots that my NUT said that I must walk at least 35-45 mins a day. That was my motivation. Yesterday the mall, today kohls.

I think that's amazing! I'm just not anywhere near that.

Today was my first day out. Did some grocery shopping and Christmas shopping. Wore myself out. I had to come home with those lovenox shots. It doesn't seem like anyone else did. I am sooooo tired of them! Glad I got to go out but I did have to take a nap.

I am terrified of blood clots too, but sadly haven't managed that level of movement. I instead get up every hour to 2 hours and walk around the house for 10-15 mins. That wears me out enough.

I know it, those clots are scary - I even purchased a pair of compression socks in the infomercial section of the CVS - supposed to better the circulation & massage ur leg as ur walking

@@ShannonbKSU Are you taking a chewable Multivitamin, chewable Calcium, and liquid B12. I'm also on Clear Liquids and believe these are my saving grace, especially since I'm not taking in the 48-64oz of liquids I should be.

While I don't feel ready to walk the mall, I do feel like short grocery store trips, etc.

I have lowered my pain medication to twice a day. Hoping to switch to just Tylenol after the staples come out! Still hurting but it's semi manageable but it is worse at night time cause I can't get comfy!

I'm not doing well on stage 2 foods right now. I have only been able to drink a little Protein Shake and some Water most of the day. I have been stressed and devastated since Friday when I lost my mother during open heart surgery. I know she would yell at me for not trying to eat like I'm supposed to so I'm going to try to do better tomorrow.

      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.
