I just checked your profile and you were just banded April 10, so yes for awhile you are going to be weak and tired, not unusual.

Follow your Drs orders, make sure you're sipping enough Water and rest when you get weak.

If you are not cleared for Protein Shakes, call your surgeon and talk with them.

Your profile says your surgery was April 10,2013 and today is only the 9th of April.

When were you banded???

April 10th. The energy question was a general question. Some people drink energy drinks, coffee, etc.. I am looking for healthy ways to have energy post banding. For instance, I love greens plus for the energy, but the taste is not so good. Right now I can drink an 8 oz glass of Water and greens 1/2 and 1/2, so I can get past the taste. If I understand, after banding, I will no longer be able to do this, just sip. But how in the heck can you get 64 oz a day down by sipping? What am I missing with the word sip? To me that means " wetting" my mouth not drinking.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
