Today was my first day back at work. I can't believe how tired I am!

I thought I was doing pretty well, but goodness.

How long after your surgery did you notice your energy increase?

I never thought that I'd lost much energy. After wally world shopping on day 4 kicked my butt I went back the next day and finished up and went to Safeway. Day 4 was really my only weak day.

I'm still waiting. Seriously, it is hard to tell, because I keep pushing harder and harder. Mrs. LittleBill says I have lots more energy, but what does she know? :P I do know that for the first couple of weeks, I could barely drag myself off to bed. Things are better now, but I am still bushed at the end of the day.

I didn't start seeing a real improvement in energy/fatigue until I got back on solid food. So it was 5-6 weeks for me. It got a little better once I was on puree/soft foods, because I could get out of ketosis (I'm an odd duck and get VERY ill when I'm in ketosis) but getting back to my normal didn't happen until I was eating more regular food and my caloric intake started getting back up close to 1,000/day.

I wasn't back to normal for 3 months. I had VGS, Gallbladder removal and hiatal hernia repair. If you just has the VGS I'd expect at least 6 weeks before feeling normal energy.

      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.
