Anyone having problems with having enough energy to exercise while on pre~op diet? Begging second week and I have no energy and lightheaded. I'm wondering how ppl have energy to exercise after surgery due to limited caloric intake. I'm following diet to the "T"

I don't think it's a good idea to exercise like that on the pre op because you're not actually eating . And after surgery you wait weeks to exercise when you are actually able to eat soft foods and have healed properly

I didn't do day one because that's when I got my approval so I ate like a pig that day lmao. And I could only drink Water , crystal light , diet Snapple ( which I love ) sugar free Popsicles sticks , this pudding powder ( taste awful) Greek yogurt ( AWFULLL) and low sodium broth and sugar free Jello ( which taste like regular jello to me ) i have two days left and I've lost 15 pounds

My 2 wk pre op consist of 2 Protein shakes & 1 meal of 4 oz lean meat 1 cup green veggies and 1 cup fruit. I can add sugar free popcicle and Jello and broth as I want.

I was extremely tired during the 2 week pre op diet. Took several naps and I couldn't exercise. My surgeon suggests to start taking your Vitamins now to help with it.

You are definitely not alone on this one. I haven't really exercised on the two week liquid diet. I'm on the last day of only Clear liquids and no Protein shakes. Ickkk. I finally had energy a couple days ago and have took a couple 15 minute walks. Stay strong.

I'm towards the end of my preop diet, surgery is Friday morning. Lack of energy? Check. Lightheaded? Check. I keep having to stop and take a break every few minutes while trying to give my house a thorough scrubbing. I did too much Saturday and ended not doing much of anything Sunday except fold and put away laundry. And even with that I got lightheaded every time I went to put something away. I just keep reminding myself this part is temporary and worth it in the end.

      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! 😞
