I'm wondering how many of you just felt weak, I would think after three weeks I'd begin to feel like my old self at some time in the near future. Anyone else having this problem? I don't have pain but I have no appetite or anything, and I am always tired. Is this normal?

Seems half the people feel they can walk miles, other half have no energy for a couple of months. I was one that had no energy until week 6. The most important thing to remember is to get in your Protein, Water and Vitamins. You will start to feel better soon.

I was in the no energy group at times. The first two weeks I has a ton of energy the 3rd week I had none, then at about 5 weeks I had a ton of energy again, and for the past month I have been completely exhausted. It seems to come in waves for me.

I was very fatigued for about 3 weeks post op and still have trouble with walking more than 30mins at a time at 7weeks out. I have energy, but it runs out quickly.

For the 1st few days, I was tired and weak, but once I focused on getting all my liquids, that helped tremendously!! Even though it took 18 months before I could, consistently get in all my Protein, staying hydrated was the trick for me. Now, I drink a gallon or more a day of Water.

If you're getting your liquids, protein & Vitamins, speak to your doctor about the tiredness, they may want to check blood levels of nutrients to make sure you are not deficient.

I just recently had some criticism because I posted my weight loss but I was weak the first day but my nurses advised me to walk after I woke up and I haven't stopped since

      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.
