newme68 11 Posted June 13, 2016 Anyone having problems with having enough energy to exercise while on pre~op diet? Begging second week and I have no energy and lightheaded. I'm wondering how ppl have energy to exercise after surgery due to limited caloric intake. I'm following diet to the "T" Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hazelzay 75 Posted June 13, 2016 I don't think it's a good idea to exercise like that on the pre op because you're not actually eating . And after surgery you wait weeks to exercise when you are actually able to eat soft foods and have healed properly Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And I could only drink Water , crystal light , diet Snapple ( which I love ) sugar free Popsicles sticks , this pudding powder ( taste awful) Greek yogurt ( AWFULLL) and low sodium broth and sugar free Jello ( which taste like regular jello to me ) i have two days left and I've lost 15 pounds Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
newme68 11 Posted June 13, 2016 My 2 wk pre op consist of 2 Protein shakes & 1 meal of 4 oz lean meat 1 cup green veggies and 1 cup fruit. I can add sugar free popcicle and Jello and broth as I want. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cindyw41 761 Posted June 14, 2016 I was extremely tired during the 2 week pre op diet. Took several naps and I couldn't exercise. My surgeon suggests to start taking your Vitamins now to help with it. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm on the last day of only Clear liquids and no Protein shakes. Ickkk. I finally had energy a couple days ago and have took a couple 15 minute walks. Stay strong.

heidikat72 935 Posted June 14, 2016 I'm towards the end of my preop diet, surgery is Friday morning. Lack of energy? Check. Lightheaded? Check. I keep having to stop and take a break every few minutes while trying to give my house a thorough scrubbing. I did too much Saturday and ended not doing much of anything Sunday except fold and put away laundry. And even with that I got lightheaded every time I went to put something away. I just keep reminding myself this part is temporary and worth it in the end. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
