It's totally normal. It will get better. Some days you'll just be more tired than others. I'm 9 wks out and I'm barely making it up the stairs sometimes. No way I could do anything other than walking and stretching. We're eating so much less. Do what you can and don't stress. ❤️

Thank you for the encouragement, it's much needed.????

I've been the same, and the clinic assured me it's normal after being on the liquid diet. They said that after eating "real" food for a week or so, I should be feeling a lot better.

You have had little to no Protein according to some of your other posts, so it makes sense you would be tired. Hoping your NUT has clarified that by now and as you add in protein and more foods, it should get better. Also be sure you are drinking enough. Dehydration can cause weakness and tiredness.

      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.
