I had surgery in 08/15/16, two weeks on Monday. I wonder if anybody else has that problem. I am so exhausted. I have no energy. Is that normal and if so when does it end? I sleep all day I still have lost a lot. Two weeks 24 pounds.

Thanks DRK

Back home from getting my scope done. The dr told me everything is open fine and to go home and drink Water. I took some sips of Water and threw up immediately. So basically worse than what I was. Waiting on dr to call me back.

So I mainly puke when I eat too fast, gulp liquids, or eat too much.

It was hard at first, then I bought some tiny little souvenir spoons.

They helped me to slow down.

And the drinks were so strong I usually watered them.

You'll be OK if you just sip, sip, sip.

I purchase it at GNC. It's about $5 a bottle, but totally worth it. Watch out for the green tea flavor, it stinks so bad I can't stomach it. But all of the rest are MUCH better.

I'd also suggest bodybuilding.com for Protein drinks and meals. They ship fast - it only takes a few days to get an order.

It was a little hard to get past all the pictures of the jocks they have plastered all over their website. But if you look on the left menu for "protein" then at the lower part of that page for "low carb" it is really worth the bother.

They have sorts where you can look at "customer ratings" of each product, and list "cost per serving." I find their customer rating agree with my tastes, and like the pricing transparency. I believe they carry Isopure, but they have the largest selection of any I've found, AND if you have any questions at all, just give them a call. Their staff are happy to talk with you personally.

      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.
