Be sure you are hydrated. Dehydration makes you feel weak, tired, and just crappy overall.

So sorry to hear you are struggling. I think it somehow helps to hear other people's struggles, to let you know that you are "normal" , you are not alone, and that there really is hope. I was sleeved on February 24. Had a really rough time with pain and recovery. Somehow at day 7 it was like the fog lifted, the Protein tasted a little less like ***t, and the pain was really not bad. You will get better. Hang on, and hang in. Hugs!

I wanted to shoot myself until about 2 weeks out, then it got much better. One month out was worlds better. It's going on 6 months now and I am so happy I did this. It gets better every day; don't worry!

      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.
