I Feel So Weak

[ooffa511 505]

I'm 10 days post op and I'm sooo weak. I feel I'm doing everything right. Its my bday tomo and I don't even want to get out of bed...

I'm sorry! I'm 12 days postop and I've had a few rough days too. Are you getting all your Protein and Water? I do better when I get those in. Also I found this drink called Ecodrink. I bought it at Sam's Club and it is a Vitamin drink you add to water. The orange tastes like Tang and it always makes me feel better when I drink it. Lots of B Vitamins. Happy Birthday! Hope you feel better.

Wow, might try to take in more fluids, I know that is difficult. Also, are you taking your Vitamins? Hope you feel better soon and happy birthday!

It's tough to get everything in at this stage. How often am I allowed the B12?

Happy Birthday!!! Feel better soon.

Happy B-day! I have trouble drinking Water so I mix half low calorie G2 Gatorade with some water and it is a lot easier to drink. In fact, I was about to get more fluids down and it gave me more energy.

Take it one day at a time. You might be feeling much better tomorrow than you are today (knock on wood!)

If you think B-12 would help, you can take it sublingual. My surgeon had us start that pretty much right after surgery. (I later came off of it because my levels were plenty high.) Make sure you are getting enough Water in, and rest up... you can postpone celebrating your birthday if you need to! Right now the most important thing is to take good care and heal!

Congrats on your new sleeve!

It sounds like dehydration to me because I went thru it twice. Call your doctor. If it is dehydration, he can arrange for you to be infused with fluids. Immediate relief! If you don't do the IV thing, it will take you 3-4 days of gorging yourself on liquids in order to get back to normal. Why wait?

Def good to know. Thank u very much for the advice and bday wishes 

_{Happy Birthday, you will be better every day. Try the sublingual B12, I have been using it since surgery and even before, it is a good energy booster for me.}

[ooffa511 505]

I bought that today. How many can I have in one day??

[shrinkinmama 14]

I was told 100mcg a day for the B12. I was tired too on the 10th day...I am 22 days out now and i went back to work this week and I still feel better than i did on day 10. I too thought that something was wrong but there wasnt i had blood drawn and all that good stuff. just keep the water bottle to your lips when you are supposed to and sip sip sip.

I know its so annoying when we say that but I promise you that you will be able to suck it down much faster very soon.. I can get through 66 oz and more at this point. you just have to focus on it...and if you need a nap take one..it will get better I promise.
