Yep, it sure does...

Once you're eatling 'proper' food you'll find it improves...

Also, once your body recovers (remember that at 3 weeks, you're still in the healing process), you'll find that your energy levels increase...

Good luck mate...

My Dr told me almost all of your energy is going to healing, you don't get more energy until 6 weeks. This is major surgery, even though it doesn't feel like it.It is a lot of trauma to your body.

I agree, but I wonder too since it's spring time down under, do you have allergies? I sure as heck do. They hit every spring and fall. Since my body is fighting the hystimines take their toll. Don't know, just throwing it out.

It definitely ends. You'll wake up one day soon and feel a lot more energetic. Hang in there!

Thanks guys just went to my dietician and I'm supposed to be getting 100g of Protein and I'm only getting thirty it is so hard she wants me to eat 3 meals of mushies a day plus 3 opti fast shakes it's kinda impossible I get full off one shake and that takes me like 1 he to drink! She said that's why I'm feeling lethargic I feel it's that and what you guys are saying to I just don't see how I could fit all of that in one day plus Protein Drinks make me super tiered like fainting tiered.

This is what made me double up. Once I started adding plain greek yogurt to my shakes my protein intake went up. ½cup is 13gms of protein. It makes life easier.

The end of my third week was very similar.

I'd run out of gas really fast.

Still on the liquid diet then.

Found out my high blood pressure (taking meds for it) was actually running between 106/55 to 112/68. No wonder I was feeling like crud. I cut back on the meds and have been keeping it watched. I'll see my primary doctor on Friday to review.

Also was able to add soft Proteins to my diet.

The combination of these two events helped to get the energy up a great deal between the 3rd & 4th weeks so far.

Good luck

Hang in there and don't stress. All the sudden around the 6 week mark I started feeling peppy again and that fatigued feeling went away.

Blacking out is not good. You need to call your surgeon right away. You may need to go to the ER.

How is your hydration?

I'm 4 days post-op and I literally can not stomach Protein. I feel nauseous at the site of it. I can do green tea or Water but I'm having such a hard time getting my Proteins in, which is probably why I feel slight dizzy waking up. I just have no idea what to do or how else to get the protein I need.

Happens to me every morning when I drink Protein I feel like fainting and need to lay down and when I stand up feels like I'm on drugs.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
