hey there, i am on the pre-op protein diet "liver shrinking" it sucks, but have to do it!!!

BUT MY MAIN CONCERN IS I HAVE NO ENERGY, I HUNT ALOT AND WENT OUT YESTERDAY AND COULD NOT MAKE IT ALL DAY. VERY DISAPPOINTED, WILL THAT ENERGY LEVEL EVER COME BACK AFTER SURGERY?

11TH PRE-OPT........

THANKS CLIFF,

I also experienced this with me working 13 hour shifts as a nurse being on my feet all night. Now my plan says I do not need a b-12 supplement but everything I have read says I do and that it will help with energy and metabolism. So I have found a sub lingual supplement to try and see if it works.

I too am scheduled on 1/27 and I feel your pain. I'm at a point now where I'm so bored with my food choices and tired of soup, that I have to force myself to eat even though I'm starving. I would rather go hungry than eat soup or fudgesicles. I just want this over with. My energy level has suffered a bit, but I've been taking my multi-vitamins so the fatigue is not that bad. This diet sucks!!! I have fasted from sun up until sunset for 30 days straight for Ramadan every year, but nothing compares to this.

Your energy level will get better but it may take a while if you're like me. Keep up with the protein shakes and take multi vitamins. With me I believe that part of the fatigue was caused by depression because I was mourning overeating. That went away as I saw success on the scale. Best wishes to you.

I don't know....I'm 4 weeks post-op and this past week my energy is at it's lowest.

I have more energy than I know what to do with. After about 4 days post op, and with maybe 2 afternoons where I needed a nap, I have had an abundance of energy. Way more than I had prior to surgery. I feel like this is the best think I have ever done for myself!
