I get really tired, too. Sometimes I try to do too much and it catches up with me. And yesterday, I had to have some blood work done for the NP at surgeon's office. It wiped me out for pretty much the rest of the day.

How long ago did you have surgery?

September 28. Today is my 16th day post-op.

Part of it is that I am still on liquids. The foods that were added in Week 3 (which began yesterday) are all carb-laden (oatmeal, cream of wheat, 1/2 ripe banana, baked sweet potato). I did low carb during my six-month pre-op diet obligation and lost 99 pounds before the surgery, so I won't let my carbs go above 20 grams per day. That is keeping me on liquids for an extra week. Next Thursday, I can add in cottage cheese, cheese sticks, green Beans, and zucchini, so I am hoping that will help me out in the energy department...

You on full liquids?

Yes, but since I won't eat sugar free pudding or yogurt, it is pretty much strained cream of chicken soup with unflavored protein powder, along with water, a protein shake in the morning and some sugar free jello sometimes.

Oh ok yea I'm on full liquids for two more weeks but its still hard for me to eat about 4/5 spoons of anything n I'm done even Water is hard to take

I have been pretty blessed in that department. I have been getting in 64 oz of Water since Day 2 post-op, (and I have gotten in 80 oz the past few days) and I have been above my Protein goals since the first day home. I must be healing pretty rapidly, but who knows...

I'm already a sleepless mess hate to see what post op will be like.
