Hello Everyone!

I was just banded on Monday, and so far, I'm doing okay. I have really bad heart burn that comes and goes, but I suppose it could be worse. My problem though, is that I think my body is hungry. I'm on a liquid diet for the first two weeks and that's going well, but I'm constantly getting hunger headaches and just feel blah. I have no energy to do anything. I think my body needs some energy to make up for the lack of food. What should I do?

Happy New Year!!!

Hi:

Are you having Protein drinks and liquid Vitamins? The Protein Drinks will help with the energy level. Best wishes to you.

I would try spacing our your calories. I had my broth and then an hour later the protein shake. Regarding vitamins my doctor said not to take them for 2 weeks.

protein...protein...protein

You know since surgery, i have little energy too. I feel like I can't keep up. I don't think my body is gettting enough! I am having my Protein, but I guess I really should keep better track of how many grams. I can't eat alot though. I am only able to take in about 2-3 oz in solids...but about 6 oz liquids..and then for 3 days I couldn't eat I was so constipated, thought I was going to be sick.

I am having a hard time tolerating pork chops...and sometimes chicken.

But what are good Vitamins to be taking> I take Calicum w/ vit D now...

You can't excersise intensily yet, but you could start walking. Moving around, even though you don't want to, will actually increase your energy level. It can also start you on a good track when your cleared for excersise. It is such a vital component to weigh loss. Not only do you burn calories while your doing it, you build muscle wich causes your body to burn more calories all day long. Good luck!
