I was like that and still am some days. My surgery was 11/14/12. Your body is healing so make sure your getting enough rest at night and my nutritionist said one nap a day ( if you can ) You had major surgery it will take awhile to get your energy back. Be patient you will adapt, the more food you introduce.

What is your Blood pressure? You mentioned medications. What are they. I'm thinking that direction.

My daughter experienced similar symptoms when she tried the Atkins diet....she couldn't handle all the Protein & low carbs. When she added some carbs she was fine. I don't know if that's what's happening with you, but thought I'd throw it out there anyway.

These are pretty benign meds, B/P good. Look at the sie effects of your antacid. But, I'm kinda stumped. Stay safe.

I would try either the carb thing try adding some good carbs, ie a slice if whole wheat bread. Unfortunately the very limited carbs does not work to well for anyone. Or could you possibly be dehydrated? Try upping your fluids, maybe that will help. Good luck to you and please keep us updated.

      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! 😞
