Hi Everyone! Happy almost Thanksgiving!

I am just a little over 3 weeks out from surgery and I am exhausted. All I want to do is get in bed and sleep. I know that being tired is a common issue after surgery and as you adjust to your new lifestyle, but when did this start to turn around for you? I am trying to focus on getting my Protein in each day, getting my fluids and taking my Vitamins but it has been a struggle. My NUT gave me the green light last week to move to soft food but nothing really tastes good and the 30/30 rule is killing me. I know this gets better and I know I am probably just having one of those "what did I do to myself" days so if you have any advice/wisdom to share, it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Kathy

I was exhausted the first month. By the end of month 1, though, I was feeling normal. By the end of month 2, I was starting to feel the effects of the weight loss and I started feeling great.

I'm at 4 weeks and feel the tiredness as well. I've been giving in to it about half the time and napping. But I honestly do feel better today than 3 or 4 days ago.

      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.

      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.
