I Am Tired.....are You?



Recommended Posts

I had my first fill on Sept. 4th. I never felt any restriction but I am rarely hungry so it doesn't matter to me. However now everything I eat seems to get stuck. I had this problem at the end of last week and went back on liquids (talk about no energy!) and then progressed to mushies yesterday and everything seemed to be fine. I thought I had just irritated my tummy with some REALLY spicy food. However, when I went back to solids today it is the same thing. I don't PB, i just feel like I swallowed a golf ball and now my stomach just plain hurts. I emailed the doc, but haven't heard anything. I left work early so I could call him. That is what I am off to do now!

Judi and Salsa,

My Dr told me to take Vitamin B12. Did yours? If I forget to take it for a day or two I feel so tired. What a difference it makes in me.

Good luck to you and I hope you feel energized soon!

Thanks LadyBug.....

What kind of B-12 do you take? liquid? pills? What brand?

When I was on one of my many medical diets (a Bariatric clinic), I got B-12 shots. At that time, the nurse told me that shots were the only way to get it into your system. So, I never considered liquid or pills. But, at this point, I am ready to try anything. I am just dragging.......

Thanks!

The nutritionist recommended Twin Lab B12 dots that are sublingual (go under your tongue). I take regular B12 tablets. I take 2 in the morning (250 mg each). It seems to help me a lot. If I take them regularly I feel great. I did forget this week for a couple of days and I was really dragging. Taking them consistently seems to be the key for me. I hope it helps you!!

      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.
