  1. I had my surgery July 9th! I breezed through it never throwing up and never taking a pain pill! Here I am almost 6 weeks out and the last three days I can't hardly force myself to eat! I had a appetite up to then, but now the thought of good almost nauseates me! What do you do when his happens? I'm pretty much on all foods! Please don't suggest Protein Shakes or I will throw up! Any ideas would be appreciated. Yesterday I managed to get 500 cal down but only about 30 Protein. Therefore, I have no energy!


  2. Okay I had my surgery July 9th. (I think I am the slowest loser ever!) I have lost 40 pounds, but most of that was before the surgery! People are really noticing it and I have had to get rid of my whole wardrobe! So it mudt be working!! I had no pain with my surgery and never threw up, and other than no energy, I breezed through it. Yesterday I had my first problem! I had a pain in my stomach all day! Right above my belly button! I couldn't eat much all day! I wasn't sure if I was constipated or it could be the gas pain so many of you talk about. I took meds for the Constipation and took an extra Pepcid and a Tum last night! Today the pain is gone , but I have zero energy!!! I have no appetite at all and having a hard time getting my Water down! I can't hardly force myself to eat today! Anybody have any helpful ideas? What do u do when u just can't get food down?


  3. I felt fine in a couple days. I never had pain and took no pain meds. I am 10 days out and are on pureed stage. Other than still lacking energy, it's been great! I'm most curious about the cruise! We are frequent cruisers- but I have till nov to get ready! As you know we are going to totally have to change our mindset and remember its about having fun, being with people, not all about eating. You can do it!!


  4. Recently found this recipe on Mark's Daily Apple - which is devoted to eating primal - a way of eating I have been moving towards for a while - with Protein first as my cardinal rule - after one of my good friends who is a firefighter raved about it (her gang at work eats primal' date=' and the are crossfit folks - cannot imagine people more fit.)

    Hilarious name - and I have not tried these yet but they look yummy.

  5. I just had my sleeve Monday but feel like I should be getting more energy everyday, but I am exhausted. I have zero energy! What can I do to help! I have not been getting all my Protein but I'm probably about 40 or so! Let me know if this is normal-I usually have so much energy! I take a nap in the morning and again in the afternoon!


  6. Okay everybody, I'm new at this! Had surgery on Monday. Came home last evening. Surgery went great and I have very little pain, but I have zero energy! When will that get better? So far I have only been able to take a few sips of shake. Any advice or helpful hints would be appreciated!
