Recommended Posts

I'm so exhausted feel like I'm floating on another world. I've been drinking holding down Water g2 and popsicles. But I have never in my life felt so bad! It takes every bit of me to get up and pee! I have 2 Small Children and thank God I have a wonderful family to help me take care of them! I'm wish I would never have done thus. Anyone else feel this bad and what helps? I feel disoriented and confuesed!

You need some Protein. I went and go some Liquid Protein from Walmart, it isn't top quality but it helps.Mix it with some Water . Rest, take your meds , or try not taking your meds, that could be doing it to you too. Are you walking at all ? I am 4 days post op and am doing well. I felt like you do for three days and once I got some liquid protein I felt MUCH better. Hope it helps and I hope you do better !!!! Huggs

Thank u for replying. I've walked quit a bit I was in hospital for the first 3 days. I was doing good I thought now I'm home 6 hr's away from my Dr. and feel like I'm crazy or something. I had some Isopure. I'm only talking pepcid. I'm not having pain. Ill try more Protein and see if that helps! I'm glad ur doing good tho! I guess all I can do at this point is get better!

If you have a GNC near you I would try Isopure. It's 40grams of Protein, in 20oz liquid the consistency of Water. Alpine punch is the best flavor IMO, but there's also pineapple banana, grape and one blue one I can't remember but I think it's some kind of raspberry. Good luck for sure. Be good to yourself and trust you'll get your energy back. I'm almost four weeks post op and vacuumed yesterday. Slowly but surely, you'll start to feel normal again. At least that's what I hear everyone saying:)

i'm so very sorry you are feeling like this. no one should feel this cruddy. Glad you do have this great support of people to help with the kids etc. Thats really a big deal

others have mentioned they wish they had never had this surgery. I never understand what they mean. Help me ok.

Do you mean you just wish you didn;'t have surgery cuz you feel sick, tired, hurt sick etc.- period, cuz i understand that, how terrible - or do you mean you wish you never had this particular surgery WLS?

I hope its the 1rst situation, not the 2nd. the WLS journey hopefully will go well, great, no other problems - and you wll be on your journey to success..

it unfortunately might take a little time, but you will get there, i know it. take care

hope you feel better soon

best wishes

kathy

I had my WLS last week on Wednesday. My doctor was very clear that if I were to begin feeling weak I should begin drinking Water (1 oz at a time) 4 ozs per hour and get in some Protein at the same rate. You could be dehydrated. Did you do a pre-op liquid diet?

This is typical. I got exhausted just showering. It took 3-4 weeks to feel Good. I still get tired. Im 5 weeks out.I'm finally not having waves of exhaustion. Drink drink drink. Get your Protein and you'll do great. Good luck

Thank u all for advice! I'm feeling somewhat better! The Dr said I needed to eat some bannanas and small amount of potatoes. I got some down with a Protein Shake and g2! I just hope each day keeps getting better from here. I've lost 14lbs so far good start for a week! Thanks again for responding!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
