I am 6 days post op and am exhausted. The pain is just about gone, but i feel dizzy and like i have to lay down all the time. Will i ever feel normal and have energy again? When did it start coming back?

Hey... I am sorry I can t answer your question because I havent had it done yet but I hope you feel much better really soon. Hang in there, I am certain you will feel better very soon!

I know I feel the same way and I'm 5 days post-op. I've heard from many people though that they have all felt this way and every thing that we are feeling is normal. Although I'm tired and weak and dizzy right now I know that I'm not alone and that makes me feel a little better. My friend is 14 months post-op and she said the first month is hell and then it gets better and better. She's eating everything she did before just in smaller amounts and she's this tiny little thing. When I talked to her it made me feel better. Hope I helped.

Thanks...you helped a lot! I feel better

You're welcome and I'm glad

I get dizzy too. My doc said one sign of dehydration. I drink G2 and Water. Dehydration was one of the causes for my er visit along with low blood (had to get a blood transfusion about 3 weeks ago ). I would try G2 littlebites a member here told me about the G2. I crush ice and G2 together I use a spoon. I start feeling better. Not getting enough nourishment is another cause is what I was told as well. I put unflavored Protein in my applesauce. I take nausea medications too. If you don't get better call your doctors answering service or go to the er.

I hope you feel better.

Hello- I am about 7 weeks post op and the first three weeks were like being in a tornado. I had zero energy and was dizzy all the time. My surgeon suggested additional iron as I may have been anemic during that time. Let me tell you the day after my first iron supplement, I felt like a whole new person. PLEASE take the time to rest. It was extremely difficult for me with three kids, but I can't stress how important it is just to take it easy and rest rest rest. Things will be back to normal soon! Good luck!

Be patient. I was probably feeling normal at two weeks and could say 100% at four weeks

I'm 9 day post pop and I'm on liquids and can't start vitamins until tues. everyone I sit up or lay down I get extremely dizzy and blurry vision. It started today and it was my 1st day back to work

Im 7 days post-op and ive been taking vitamins since I got home. Why cant u take them? I think vitamins will help with d way u feel.

I am day 10 and still feel tired, dizzy, and thirsty all the time. It is getting better, however.

I am 10 days post op and also started taking liquid vitamins when I got home, which helps my energy. Also, walking helps. Good luck to you!

I am 7 days post op today and feel the exact same way. My husband has been off this week with me but ows back on nights tomorrow night. We have a 2 yr old and a 9 mo old so my hands are full. I'm extremely nervous about him going back to work. I hope we all start feeling better soon!

I'm 6 weeks post op, I just got back to the gym. It takes time. You have to be kind to yourself. You have to look at it like you have a brand new organ, let your body get used to it. The getting tired easy thing will last until you can get some vitamins and protein in you. The tired after eating thing I still have, like my stomach sucks all my energy to digest. But it will get better. It's a process, just have paitence with yourself and its not laziness to rest after a major surgery. Don't feel pressure to jump back into life so soon. Take it easy, you don't want complications.

I took my chewable vitamins iron and b12 last night although I was suppose to wait til tues and I'm still dizzy this morning when I woke up. This is terrible. I wonder if it's my blood pressure or calorie depravation

I had the same problem post-op. I think it was my body adjusting to the lack of food - from 2000+ calories a day to 400 a day, your body will react. A friend who had the rny said three weeks out and you'll start feeling better and she was right on target - went back to work at 3 weeks and really started to feel myself again, just a little more tired than usual.
