I am almost a week out and feeling weak and tired. How long until I will feel an energy boost?????

I am 3 weeks post bypass and I am feeling more like myself today not quiet so tired hang in there you are still healing rest, water protein : )

Depends on your body and how you heal. Everyone if different. A week out I was pretty much back to normal energy wise. Make sure you are getting as close to your protein and fluid levels as possible, along with taking your vitamins and supplements.

Congratulations on the surgery and speedy recovery!

I felt I turned a corner with energy at the end of week 5 and I was very good with getting Water and Protein in after the surgery, apart form the first 3 or 4 days. Week 6 was good and I felt back to normal.

@@retrieverguy i did remarkably well, best i can figure is i like Isopure clear (available at gnc) and was able to get over 60g of Protein a day from day 1. as you get more nutrients into your system you will feel better. Note you will also have some odd mood swings, seems all the fat cells hold a bunch of hormones and they tend to dump all at the same time...be careful watching chick flicks and sentimental movies, you may cry like a baby (not that i'm bitter or anything)

How did you get protein in the first week when you can only have clear liquids?

@@Angelwing99 - Isopure liquid (you can try at GNC) http://www.theisopurecompany.com/products/powders.html

Not to everyone's taste, but I like it. Some dilute with poweraid to get rid of slight slimy feeling in the mouth. 40g per bottle. So hydration and Protein in one bottle.

@@Angelwing99 I was on clear liquid only the first day. After that protein shakes.

I was feeling horrible a week out. Realized it was because I was taking in absolutely no carbs.

I incorporated 50% diluted apple juice into my regimen and it saved my life.
