I completed one week of fluids. Today is the worst, I am hungry, weak, tired, sore. I can barely keep my head up. I have drank vitamin water, had a little jello etc.  I am starting to think this was a huge mistake.

Though I am pre op and have yet to experience post op life, they say it does get better and soon you will be loving your sleeve. Just hang in there. You Got This.

Are you getting some protein in?  I mixed unflavored protein in with jello. And I had some other kool aid tasting protein drinks.  That will probably help some.

I notied you mentioned you mixed in unflavored protein with your Jello, can you please tell me where you got your unflavored protein? I am very pre-op as I don't even have my surgety date as of yet but I want to make sure I have everything ready for when I have to got on the 2-wk liquid diet and I can not seem to find any unflavored protein. Thanks a bunch!

Unjury makes a unflavored protein powder, that is supposed to pretty good. You can order it online

Drink more water, it sounds like you could be approaching dehydration.  And REST

I had my sleeve done on Monday. It is HARD. But I keep telling myself I just have to worry about today and that is helping.

I had mine on the 20th today's day 8 of full liquid but as long as I get my protein in I am doing ok 

I do eat the one snack too the fat free pudding was like heaven last night 

I am missing food though and cannot wait to get to phase 2 mushy! 

Hang in there drink plenty water and it will get better 

I actually took a 30 min walk today couldn't do that 2 days ago! 

It actually made me feel stronger! 

You can do this!!

You might not be able to.  Every surgeon has slightly different rules.
