I know how you feel and for me the progression from one phase to another was killer. I got bored with what I could have or just could not handle the same thing again and again. I was able to find bone broths that came in different flavors and that helped me a lot. I was also able to have sugar free popsicles and fudgesicles in moderation and that helped too. The lack of energy could be that you just had surgery and you are still experiencing the recovering of your body from everything. Have you asked your surgeon if you can make some smoothies out of your protein shakes to help make them go down easier? I used premier and my dr told me that as long as I blended the shakes I could make smoothies and he approved me to add powdered peanut butter or no sugar added peanut butter or anything that was liquid but I could not add fruits or other items since even blended they could cause irritation. My suggestion to make things easy for you is to change things up a bit like getting bone broth or find a unflavored protein that you can make into any flavor you like. For the lack of energy cut yourself some slack. You are only two weeks from major surgery. Just keep drinking your liquids and eat on schedule and rest. It will get easier.
Welcome back! Sorry to hear of your struggles and I hope you are doing ok now.
I have to agree with the other poster. Therapy with a trained psychologist who specialized in weight related areas is a viable option. or you can contact the professionals from CV editing services https://www.careersbooster.com/our-services/cv-editing/.

I'm having a rough time with just soups...I still have another week and a half before my doctor possibly moves me on to purée foods. I have no energy, and the protein shakes are tough to down. Can someone give me any tips on making these days easier?
Hi Mersh, I'm glad to hear you're in a better place than before. I had the Sadi DS in Nov 14 at about 300lbs as a 6'1 male. I was hoping to get down to 200lbs, with a stretch goal of 185lbs. A year after surgery I weighed 135 lbs and people would pray for me because they were all sure I was dying from cancer. Being too thin was a difficult experience to go thru. I had no say in my weight, and I believe everyones body gravitates to where it wants to be.
Eventually I gained back about 25+lbs and I'm comfortable with life regardless of weight now.
Good luck and stay healthy!
