I am feeling very tired too. Surgery was Nov 9th.
I think it's catching up with reduced calories, not enough fluids, low carb and not a lot of real healthy nutrients (just protein). Also, it could be the winter weather and lack of sunshine.
I felt like I've been fortunate not feeling real tired for the first 5 weeks but now it's hitting me.
I think it's normal.
Try getting more fluids. Dehydration causes fatigue too.
Hang in there! You are not alone

Eek! Thanks for sharing - so sorry you went through that but glad you're feeling better!

Today is the day I'm at the hospital and waiting for surgery at 8am. See you all in the other side!!!

I will be 7 months post-op in just a few days! Loving my sleeve. First pic was 2/14/16 before surgery, other was today. Sleeved 3/30/16 

I've been on pureed foods since last Thursday. I easily tolerate 1/2 c of pureed 2X a day, plus 2 Meal Replacement shakes. My problem is that I feel like I'm starving. I don't feel any kind of restriction. About an hour or so after eating/drinking an MR shake, my stomach grumbles and I feel hunger pangs. It's not acid or GERD. I need some insight. Will my hunger settle down once I am on more solid foods or am I doomed to always feel hungry? BTW, I am getting in my liquids and Protein. Hopefully I still don't have the ghrelin hormone and I'll always feel this hunger. Veterans, did any of you have these same issue early on? I am 3 weeks post op tomorrow. Thank you!!

I was wondering the same thing! Sent from my SM-G920V using the BariatricPal App

I know all of us are food lovers. What was your "last" meal before tou started your preop diet? Mine was fettuccine alfredo from olive garden with a breadstick. After that, my husband and I split a piece of yummy white chocolate raspberry cheesecake from the Cheesecake Factory. More calories in one meal then I have had in the last 3 days. Surgery scheduled for 10/26....just reminiscing....

Gallbladder surgery was way easier and less pain/nausea.

I have an 18 month old who is around 21 or 22lbs and only had help the first week. I have been lifting her since then when absolutely necessary ie. getting into the car or in/out of crib.

The unjury Unflavored and the Isopure Unflavored both worked great for me.

Yes, I absolutely missed food at that stage! And I was forced to do liquids for 6 weeks because of a GERD issue. The first refried Beans and cheese was in the pureed stage was HEAVEN.

I had mine on the 26th at 8am! First 2 days in the hospital were rough. I was discharged home on Friday morning which was the 28th. I've been off the narcotic pain medication since Monday. Each day is a struggle with getting Fluid and Protein in. I just want to chug a bottle of Water to quench my thirst.

For those in the Phoenix area there is a Facebook support group called Phx Area Bariatric Support Group, you can search for it on Facebook and request to join. We have lots of tips, support, and laughter and we meet once a month for walks etc. Hope to see a bunch of new faces soon!

My plan was 6 weeks "anything" goes. But I don't eat veggies (I think I can just now tolerate some carrot sticks with hummus, fingers crossed!) - I have lettuce less salad that contains boiled egg and chicken bits from the salad bar.
I eat as much Protein as I can through food - but I've found that I can't eat as much as I need. Soups are still very nice on my sleeve. dinner was chicken that marinated for a longggg time. Just chicken - no room for anything else.
Teeny tiny bites. No "sides" with meals. I definitely am nowhere near a normal diet. I got a bit brave (still completely on plan), and it made me feel horrible.
I'd definitely listen to everyone's recommendations here - they're the best group!

Maybe you can help me b/c my plan is similar. The rule is stop eating as soon as you stop feeling hungry.. but for me that's usually like 2 bites. How am I supposed to get in enough Protein if I'm stopping eating at 1 oz?
