No energy on soup



Recommended Posts

Same here I'm thinking about ordering some GENEPRO unflavored Protein and just put it in everything. I'm hoping that helps with the fatigue.

Are you taking your Vitamins? Did your Dr give you a Vitamin b-12 shot to help with energy?

It does get better. I remember falling asleep everywhere in the first 1-3 weeks. I'm now at the end of week 5 and am feeling great. So much energy I only need about 5 hours of sleep. B12 Vitamins help so much. Dr. had me order Jarrow B-12 from Amazon. The 3rd week I started taking 2 a day. One at 6 am and one at noon. By the end of that week, my energy was up. Don't forget the protein!

B12 shot?? What's that my doctor told my to take a multi Vitamin daily

From what I gather some doctor's recommend a complete battery of Vitamins, similar to what bypass patients take and others just recommend a Multi-Vitamin. Often the ones I see complaining of low energy are just taking multi-vitamins. It's because the sleeve is still relatively new so there's no definitive answer just yet. I would recommend adding the non flavored Protein to the Soup to make it more hearty. You can also buy sublingual B12 at the local drug store.

      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.
