It's me again :) Today is day 15 for me. All of a sudden today, I felt like all the energy has been zapped from me. I seriously did not want to get out of bed. I don't feel sick, just really tired! Did any of you experience this in the beginning or from time to time after surgery? Thanks!

thats normal , the surgery is catching up with you and the low calories, it will improve when you start whole foods again

The first week or so I had a nap almost every day. Then I started to gain my strength back. I went back to work after about a month,  and that was exhausting because I was just starting soft foods. Now I do pretty well on energy,  but have  occasional day where I'm just worn out. The other day I was tired,  in a horrible mood, and passed out for two hours in the afternoon. Sometimes your body just needs it.

Aww I wish I could have stayed in bed ;( But have to work. I also think I may be in this infamous stall everyone talks about, as I have stayed at the same weight for 4 days thus far. Whaaaa!

I am 1 week and a day out today I didn't want to get out of bed either!!! This is the most drained I have felt since surgery.  I was worn out after french braiding my daughters hair lol.  I am sorry you can't rest more today. Make sure you get your protein and fluids while your at work.  I have been getting north of 30 grams of protein a day.  But, today I am going to try and see how close I can get to 60. May be that will help increase our energy. Thinking of you today.

Thank you! I sure hope you are feeling better real soon here too! I did feel a bit better once I had my espresso mocha/vanilla shake. I have been doing good pretty good on protein, but only because of shakes and I bought some flavorless protein to add to what I do eat. My water intake sucks today though :(

Amber I am feeling exactly the same today!!! Dragged my butt out of bed to do a few necessary things and now I have myself parked on the couch for a rest. I am having the same stall as you as well... Scale has only moved 0.1 for each of the last 3 days :( I am so relieved that you seem to be having the exact same experience as me (not that I am glad you are tired, etc but just that this must be normal).  Rest up and I am sure this will pass!
