Your body is going thru some big changes. I say it needs rest... Just my opinion .., ask your doc at your next mtg.....

but if you can and are able why not just Relax and heal 7 weeks after surgery?

Good luck on changing your life with WLS .

Hello, My name is Christine I was sleeved on May 9th, 2016 so I am more post surgery than some and must say I get tired too! I sleep 9 hours a day during the workweek and often take a nap on my days off. I feel more energetic if I remember to eat more often. This is hard but it also helped with a 3 week weight loss stall. I am down 34 pounds started at 206 and am down to 172 ish. This is the lowest I have been in a while. As long as I remember to drink a Protein shake, take Vitamins, and stay busy and EAT and Drink I lose and feel pretty good but it doesn't take long if I forget any of these things to not feel good.

      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.
