Depends on your body and how you heal. Everyone if different. A week out I was pretty much back to normal energy wise. Make sure you are getting as close to your Protein and Fluid levels as possible, along with taking your Vitamins and supplements.< /p>

Congratulations on the surgery and speedy recovery!

I felt I turned a corner with energy at the end of week 5 and I was very good with getting Water and Protein in after the surgery, apart form the first 3 or 4 days. Week 6 was good and I felt back to normal.

@@retrieverguy i did remarkably well, best i can figure is i like Isopure clear (available at gnc) and was able to get over 60g of Protein a day from day 1. as you get more nutrients into your system you will feel better. Note you will also have some odd mood swings, seems all the fat cells hold a bunch of hormones and they tend to dump all at the same time...be careful watching chick flicks and sentimental movies, you may cry like a baby (not that i'm bitter or anything)

@@Angelwing99 - Isopure liquid (you can try at GNC) http://www.theisopurecompany.com/products/powders.html

Not to everyone's taste, but I like it. Some dilute with poweraid to get rid of slight slimy feeling in the mouth. 40g per bottle. So hydration and Protein in one bottle.

I was feeling horrible a week out. Realized it was because I was taking in absolutely no carbs.

I incorporated 50% diluted apple juice into my regimen and it saved my life.

      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.
