4 weeks out, hut by a bus...or at least it feels that way.



Recommended Posts

Ok, I am not usually an alarmist, but considering how serious complications can be, I am taking no chances. I need advice from the vets.

I am four weeks out on Tuesday, within a few days after surgery I felt great. Then last week (at 3 weeks) I started to feel fatigued. It has just continued to worsen. As of today, I can barely keep my eyes open. I feel like I am going to faint. I am so insanely tired, I can barely function. I have a crazy headache. I am hydrated (pee clear, drinking over 64 oz). Up until today I have been over 60 grams Protein. Followed the diet exactly, no cheating. Taking my Vitamins, so what is this?

I have no other leak symptoms, no fever, no shortness of breath, no chest pains. But any idea what is going on? I was sleeved in Mexico and so the ER is my only resource for care. So I don't want to jump the gun and go to the ER unless necessary.

Please help with your thoughts.

Call your surgeon, and talk with him/her regarding your concerns.

I would go to a doctor 1st thing.

If your diet was high in sugar before that may explain the lose of energy feeling.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
