I am 10 days post op VSG.

Two days I have been able to get in 3 shakes. The other days since day 4 I've gotten 2 shakes in. I am feeling so weak. Is anyone else experiencing weakness, no energy?

I definitely felt very weak and tired easily post-op. I took a daily nap for the first two weeks.

Don't forget - your insides really went through a lot! It is easy to forget because the incisions are so teeny. Take it easy, heal well.

It wasn't until about 4 days into pureed foods that I began to feel like my old self. It will be especially taxing if you're back at work.

It took me a good 6 weeks to feel as if I had any energy but everyone is different. I went back to work at 5 weeks and was in bed by 6pm every night, exhausted. Yet, some here go back to work after a week and are fine.

You really need to be sipping all day long. Protein shakes, Protein drinks etc. How long are you on fluids for?

You will feel much better once you are eating 'real' foods.

Keep siping and congratulations!

I felt great until Saturday. I've even done grocery shopping twice and cooked dinner for my family.

      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.
