Struggling with fatigue and lethargy

Hi gang! Sleeved on 11/1. Last week felt pretty darn good, except discomfort at largest incision. This week, I am struggling big time! If I walk up the steps, I am exhausted and weak. I can barely shower, and I'm rushing to get thru it so I can lay down.

I feel fine if I'm sitting or laying down but as soon as I stand, I'm toast! Exhausted.

TBH, I don't think I'm getting enough protein. I just can't take these shakes anymore! It's week 4 of these things and I'm gagging the down. Plus, I can only get about 4oz down every hour.

Follow up appt with surgeon is tomorrow so I'll be moving into purée foods-yay! Just needed to vent! I am hoping the purée foods will add energy back into my body!

Sorry, if it's any consolation I haven't really even eaten any

Had cream of wheat once pudding four times and yogurt four times, and that's in two weeks. I've been obsessed with hydration... Almost at 64oz of pure water

How did you get to add yogurt? They say I can't have anything but liquids?

I am beginning to notice that plans vary greatly however in my plan during stage 1 full liquids I a MN allowed to have SF jello SF pudding low fat yogurt and thinned cream of wheat in addition to the liquids.

What does everyone else's stage one look like?
