I get really tired, too. Sometimes I try to do too much and it catches up with me. And yesterday, I had to have some blood work done for the NP at surgeon's office. It wiped me out for pretty much the rest of the day.

September 28. Today is my 16th day post-op.

Part of it is that I am still on liquids. The foods that were added in Week 3 (which began yesterday) are all carb-laden (oatmeal, cream of wheat, 1/2 ripe banana, baked sweet potato). I did low carb during my six-month pre-op diet obligation and lost 99 pounds before the surgery, so I won't let my carbs go above 20 grams per day. That is keeping me on liquids for an extra week. Next Thursday, I can add in cottage cheese, cheese sticks, green Beans, and zucchini, so I am hoping that will help me out in the energy department...

Yes, but since I won't eat sugar free pudding or yogurt, it is pretty much strained cream of chicken Soup with unflavored Protein Powder, along with Water, a Protein Shake in the morning and some sugar free Jello sometimes.

I have been pretty blessed in that department. I have been getting in 64 oz of Water since Day 2 post-op, (and I have gotten in 80 oz the past few days) and I have been above my Protein goals since the first day home. I must be healing pretty rapidly, but who knows...

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
