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.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.
