Hi Jan, Congrats on the weight loss. I will be 3 weeks out on Wednesday & have lost 21 pounds so far. I also get very tired in the afternoon and usually take a nap. The only problem with napping in the afternoon is that I can't fall asleep at night. I wish you well on your continued weight loss journey. God Bless.

I will be three weeks this Wednesday. When I had my 2 week post op I was 25 lbs down. I will return next week for my one month. I have never been able to get the fluid in. The most I have gotten in within a 24 hour period was 30 ounces and 15 g of protein. I started having trouble on Saturday night when I started spitting up blood. I called the doctor and he put me on clear liquids until today. They called this morning and have an appointment for me to see another doctor about an endoscopy. That sounds like a blast! I hope it isn't anything too major. I can not drink more than about 1/2 an ounce every 20-30 mins and even that is hard to keep down. I feel like I am frothing at the mouth. As for running out of steam, 1 oclock seems to be my brick wall. Of course I get up at 6am so that is still a long stretch. I have been taking a 90 min nap and still can sleep at night. I still sleep in a recliner because of my CPAP. Hang in there... it will get better.
