Bariatric Boy

I am counting the days to a poached egg......right now energy is hard to come by. Good luck & stay focused.

The fatigue is crushing.....I went for a 15 minute walk yesterday. ( 1st time ) and I literally collapsed on the coach for 2 hours. Cannot wait to get my energy back and it is Day 6 post Op.

Don't worry......I went in at 11, surgery at 1:30, post Op at 3:45 and in my room by 6PM. Spent 1 night and was sent home at 10AM the next day. I must say.....it was very easy and I actually slept decent that night.

Believe it or not, I find that the Campbell Soup can 187 ml offer a good variety of choices. I put 1 can of soup and 1 can of water into a blender and puree for 2 min. I then filter into a strainer into a measuring cup removing small food particles. It is basically broth but with more flavour and some protein. If you get the Low Salt version it is an easy quick solution to fill up......1/4 of a cup is about 45 kcal and 3 grams of protein.

It is very doable......just sip it.....you will get there.

Day 1,2, & 3 yes.......Day 4 & 5 have been much easier to drink two 325 ml cartons. Hoping to drink 3 if possible moving forward.

It was all Liquid Protein Shakes.....need 60-80 grams per day. Need to sip them but they are loaded with Protein.

Welcome to Day 6......hope you are healing well ?

No just RYN Surgery.

Day 5 here.....my pain is in my shoulders and also walk a bit hunched over.......work might be too much for Day 7 ?

Congrats......good luck.

Thanks.....just took my first 15 minute walk post surgery.....I am pooped.

Thank you for the feedback.

I have this and it is awesome for Protein count......I able to drink 2 a day at Day 5 Post Surgery.

Day 5 Post Surgery here in Toronto......Fatigued but Optimistic towards my goal.

Good Morning, Day 5 post RYN surgery here in Toronto. Pain has gone and wounds are healing nicely. I have lost 25 lbs. in total with 17 lbs. since 8/10 pre-surgery SlimTime and now 8 lbs. since surgery. I was able to get 60 grams of protein in me for the 1st time since surgery but still feeling very sluggish and tire very quickly. I try to walk for 5 minutes every hour but need to sit and rest. I also have a very raspy voice oddly enough that makes me sounds weak. Anybody who can let me know their experience and when I might turn a corner on energy would be great. I like being active and don't want to push myself too hard too soon.
