    Vitamin B12 deficiency try to get the shots it absorbs quicker. Don't let it stay like that it can result in permanent nerve damage. WLS causes B12 deficiency I had the same thing happen to me. Or try the under the tongue tablets that rescue they sell it at Trader joes. Good Luck!

    Hard to believe what a difference a year can make... lost 121 lbs. so far! So glad I took "Before" pics and actually saved the clothes (3X top & 2X pants) to try on again at my 1 year Surgiversary! Here are the pics to show the difference, along with a couple of current pics in clothes that actually fit (tops M & jeans S). Having RNY (4/21/15) was one of the best decisions I've ever made! "Thank you" to all who've encouraged, supported and loved me every step of the way. Here's hoping everyone can be the Happiest and Healthiest version of themselves

    Yes on Water, not quite on Protein, and I am sure that is factoring into the tired feeling. My plan calls for 48-64oz Water and 100g Protein. Yesterday I managed about 60 oz water and 64g protein. The day before I had around 64oz water but only 40g protein.
    It takes me forever to finish a Protein shake. Today I am trying double strength Protein shakes so I should have an easier time. I was doing 8 oz almond milk, 1 scoop Protein powder. Today I am doing 12 oz with 2 scoops of Protein Powder so I only have to drink 2 shakes instead trying to finish 4.

    I feel you! It's day 6 for me, and while I am not feeling hungry at all, I am definitely feeling drained of energy, like my fuel tank is beyond empty.
    However, my surgeon specifically told me that even if I'm feeling great, don't advance the eating plan or it could compromise the healing process.
    Never thought purees would be so appealing, but right now they sound so good!

    I definitely vote you stick to the food plan your surgeon or nutritionist laid out for you. Advancing early could potentially cause complications. Is it miserable? Sure! But it's also only temporary!

    Remember why you're on liquids - for healing. giving your sleeve adequate time to heal can mean you have an easier time advancing in future.
    After all you went through to get surgery, I'm sure you can hang in there one more day!

    Zsazsaamor reacted to akaESKIMOkiss in Acid Reflux Triggers FYI   
    Hello.... I was diagnosed with hiatal hernia and GERD after an upper endoscopy 2 months ago. I was sleeved on 4/20/16 and was feeling pretty good a few days post op with just a little soreness - except I was really tired of all the broths and Protein shakes. Thinking that I just needed to get SOMETHING down, I cheated a little and started sipping French Onion Soup - strained of course. My stomach has been on fire for 2 days now. Like the no sleeping type of on fire... although I had been taking my Nexium faithfully every day. After several hours in the ER, 4 doses of anti-nausea/vomiting & a double dose of Protonix along with a CT to make sure of no leakage, I wondered if the onion Soup was the culprit? Onions (and other foods known for heartburn) obviously are not a heartburn trigger for all with GERD/acid reflux, but please be mindful of your diet and avoid any foods that will irritate your already angry tummy. It never crossed my mind since vegetable broth was clearly marked as an approved liquid.

    Don't be so hard on yourself - you're not a failure. You are running into some difficulties and need to experiment a little with some adjustments until you find a way around them. There is a wealth of practical experience here on the forum. The only thing that I will say first is that if you are experiencing any pressure, pain or nausea after eating or drinking, then you are trying to do too much too fast - it's easy to misjudge how much you can take in, because it's so much less than before. Slow down and use smaller portions and try to spread them out over time. Don't make yourself ill or cause yourself to vomit.

    well I would focus on liquids before even Protein. the more dehydrated you get the harder it is to get started again. you just have to make yourself sip sip sip - little bits. otherwise you will be more nauseated.
