Hi everyone I am 6 days out of surgery. I have been on Clear Liquids except for the proetein shake (whey protein+1 tsp sugar free choc pudding + soymilk and ice blended) I have had 2 of these one yesterday and one this morning. I only did half a glass (I could have done more, but I am trying to be good.) I have zero energy and feel like I could fall asleep at the drop of a hat. I plan to start walking this afternoon, but I really need some energy. For some reason I am craving tuna fish!!! And I can't tell if this rumbley feeling is hunger or my tummy telling me I have too much?? I had a half cup of broth for lunch.< /p>

About how many grams of Protein are you getting. My doctor wanted me to have 60 grams of Protein a day. I used powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury Protein that has 20 grams of protein per serving, mixed with skim milk for another 8 grams so two of these shakes a day provided 56 grams of protein. I drank four ounces of this four times a day. The first couple of weeks were rough but I managed to get my protein in and felt really good. Another thing that my doctor recommended and I took is Vitamin B-12. I took the sublinguil 500's every day. I think that game me a bit of energy.

Make sure you are getting enough rest and not trying to do too much. Your body has been traumatized and you need time to recover. If you can fall asleep at the drop of a hat then that probably means you need to sleep. Take some time for yourself.

Good luck to you, in a month or so you will forget that this even happened to you, except that you will be thinner.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      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! 😞
