Yes...remember you're not getting in terribly many calories right now so you are going to be tired. Keep getting your fluids in. You don't want to be dehydrated.

Yep. I was wiped for the first week. Some fortunate people are up and raring to go. That wasn't me. You do need to get your fluids in. I drank quite a bit of G2 gatorade the first few weeks, decaf mint tea, decaf coffee, watered down apple juice, low sodium broth, protein shakes..if it's fluid it counts. Your body needs protein to heal so try and get some bariatric protein soups, hot chocolate, shakes etc in you to help your body do what it needs to do. My surgeon had the Bari Life products to purchase for the clear liquid phase and full liquid phase and it was immensely helpful.
