  3. Im well over 2 months out. Get urself some sos sachets and mix it with water and get them down you, they helped me alot inthe early days. You're most likley low in potassium and dehydrated thats why you're feeling weak. They can be purchased on Amazon.
  4. Well, i am 6 weeks post op on Monday coming, I've noticed old habits are creeping back in and i find myself munching on slider foods, I can't seem to get all my fluids in or don't kniw what i can cook for myself that would be easy. Im eating slider foods such as crisps,chocos,cake and custards etc only because it's easier to grab and easy to eat. I really need to get back into it. 2 weeks and I've stayed the same weight :'(
  5. Hey why don't you get yourself a hot water bottle or even put on some extra layers or fleecy pjs in bed as that's what helps me. Also get some electrolytes in you. Sos is what i use. I add a sachet of sos powder in 500ml water bottle and I'm good.
  6. I was the one who kept a fan blowing even inthe winter months, but since WLS i have been freezing cold, nothing can warm me up, i wear a full fleece pj set, thick socks and gloves to bed with heated blankets and heated fitted sheet with 3 large hot water bottles. My feet especially hurt the most as they're so cold, it's lack of blood circulation inthe hands and feet that's causing the issue, i do want to go see a doctor soon but covid and all that everything is over the phone so hoping to call soon for a telephone conversation and see what she thinks. It is worrying and makes me panic at times as i just seem so cold all the time and i was NEVER like this. Im 4weeks post op have lost 35 pounds in 4weeks so could be that there's less fat
  7. Try doing your deep breathing exercises atleast 10times aday if it doesn't clear ir get better head to the ER as could be pnemonia
  8. Hey i am 4weeks post op on Monday, if you can't keep up with protein don't worry as long you drinking enough fluids ideally with electrolytes as I think that's why you feel weak because of dehydration. Get electrolyte powder and add to ur water with water flavouring or squash, drink apple juice and any juices you like, have yogurts and make urself some meat/poultry broths and have about 3oz of that at each sitting ideally aim for 5meals aday and you will be okay.

  11. Hi I'm nearly 4weeks out, have you tried mashed potatoes with ketchup or creamcheese? Weigh about 3oz and eat that, even fishcakes but don't eat the batter, have electrolytes power mixed on your drinks as thats what helped me with my energy levels, also have cheese triangles and small pots of yogurts throughout the day and sip on electrolyte drinks.

  14. Hi how are you now? Any news on what it is
  15. I had a sleeve, but get those pains, you need to remember that your muscles were ripped through to get to your organs and you need to be resting and not walking too much, let your body heal and only walk 20mins aday
  16. I was at the bmi 33 before i decided to have this surgery and now i regret it every single day, I'm always hungry but can barely eat or enjoy my meals. It sucks! I just wish i could turn back time and never have had this surgery. It gets easier with time i know as many have said that to me but why do i feel i rushed into it without really thinking.
  17. I'm 3 weeks out and had surgery at bmi 33 and I'm at the stage where I'm constantly regretting my decision. I wish i could turn back time and not have had this surgery and just lost weight by myself. I'm no longer social, cnt enjoy meals always hungry but can barely eat. Please think long and hard
  18. Have your portion sizes increased alot or have you been eating throughout the day? I'm on 3weeks out and that's what scares me the most
  19. My bmi was 33 and i had surgery in Turkey.
  20. ThankYou, i have been on purée but find i am able to eat quite abit before i get the full feeling. I will in future measure properly and only eat the amount u should be to avoid causing any damage to myself. Thankyou for that explanation that could be it that the nerves are not fully functional.
