I'm 3 months post op and starting to get into more intense exercise, such as weight lifting and endurance training. I'm curious when everyone started with upping the intensity. I'm slightly frustrated with my progress. I'm fatiguing faster than I think I should be. It's probably normal but any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!

I did nothing but walk for 2 yrs. I started Pilates's about 2 months ago. Saw great improvement until the lockdown.

I started back with strength training and cardio 3 months after my surgery. I too was easily tired. I realized that I had to be more stringent with my Protein to feed my muscles than ever before. I was so tired that I started skipping workouts. 6 months later, my body pulled from my muscles for the protein it needed. I lost weight like crazy, but I lost all of my muscle tone. I realized I wasn't drinking enough protein. So now, everything I eat and drink everything has a high protein count. If I am not hungry, I sip slowly from a Protein Drink. Isopure Isolated whey and Gold Standard Protein Whey are my favs! I still drink a protein drink mixed with black coffee for Breakfast and a drink in the afternoon mixed with black Okios Zero vanilla yogurt. My goal each day is to have a drink @ 50 grams each twice per day. This should help with fatigue during your workouts. Try a pre-workout powder for energy. Good luck!

      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.
