Probably A Random/weird Question...

But would any of you say that you've noticed improved memory? I have a horrible memory and everywhere you read it says that excess of carbs (why I'm in this shape anyway) can cause it... as well as aspartame... etc. Sounds like EVERYTHING bad for you can cause it... SO I'm wondering once everything bad is out of your system for a while have you noticed a better memory?

I am two weeks out and I have not noticed it worse or better. I lived off of carbs and Diet Coke before surgery. Good luck to you.

I've never been a user of aspartame (it gives me horrible migraines), but I'm definitely not eating as many carbs as before surgery. I've read information about carbs, chemicals, etc causing issues with memory, but I've also read that ghrelin (the hormone produce by your stomach, and which causes us to experience "hunger") has a positive impact on memory...and that some people find they have diminished memory, post-VSG. I'm hoping it'll be a wash for me, and that my memory won't change much, one way or the other.

Maybe not! You're head may be clearer just not having the "food worries" clouding your thoughts once you're surgery is complete. That may help you with your memory issues.

I'm almost 3 weeks post-op and I haven't noticed anything different too, and my memory has to keep up with a lot of data/pricing information for packages, etc. due to the nature of my profession. I am a Web Designer and I'm in graduate school for an MBA on a full-time basis, as well... What I do notice though, is that I'm lacking energy big time! Feel drained and sleepy.

Before being sleeved, I was a coffee addict (2-3 cups/day) but I ate pretty clean -- just MUCH bigger portions!

Nannous, three weeks is still pretty fresh out, that could be why your feeling sluggish still. Are you getting your Protein in? Taking your Vitamins? Getting enough rest? If all those things are in check then I only have two other ideas. Exercise can sometimes give more energy. If that doesn't work I would inform your doctor and see if he/she feels it is normal. Good luck!
