what are some things other then vitamins and protein shakes that us pre oppers should buy to make things a little easier post op.

im scheduled for rny on Aug 3rd

I can't wait to have more energy. It's not like I don't get enough sleep, I sleep 10 hours a night. But I'm tired and sluggish all day. Reminds me if that eCard "I already want to take a nap tomorrow"

I'm so sick of not having any energy. I complained so much about most of the pre-op testing I've had so far....but my Dr. Just found an issue with my thyroid...which is a blessing in disguise. If it wasn't for starting the process of getting this surgery, I probably never would have found out! I'm hoping for more energy once it's treated lol. The pre-op testing is a pain, but I see the importance of it now.

No energy and no REAL food caused me to almost pass out today getting blood drawn ! I had a heavy sense of anxiety and I just felt like I was pouring sweat everywhere ! I am ready to have some full liquids at this point !

And to make it so bad ... SHE DIDN'T FIND NOT ONE VEIN AND BLEW ALL THE ONES SHE DID ! So basically I am grouchy due to hunger and no energy and this just put the icing on the cake !

I no my journey is my own but gosh ... No one said it would be this incredibly hard !

Ugh ...

That's terrible Hang in there though. Just think...it's almost over. My sister is your age and doing her two week liquid diet now and having a hard time. I keep letting her know her NEW life is so close now, it's in sight. It's frustrating, but you are almost there.
