You may need to eat or you ate the wrong thing. If you are on blood pressure meds still this can happen too

sounds weird but try drinking some coconut juice not a whole bottle but sips of it everyday it will help get your electrolytes up.

I said call you doctor to get blood work done bc you may be low in something or (s)he may be able to prescribe you something , it's better to get a doctors opinion then your own , I'm not sure why you are being rude but I READ what you wrote , if you read everyone's response I'm not the only one suggesting you call your doctor ...

have you ever heard of the saying you know your body almost as well as any other person. well that's me I'm not the type of person to sit around and wait for doctors appointments to fix myself . I go and I do my research. if you see me now or before you couldn't tell I was obese because I didn't have any kind of health problems I am tall my weight is equal portions and I work out in a gym everyday. the reason I got this surgery it's because it cost so much to buy my clothes plus I feel like even though I'm healthy I didn't wanna take a chance on getting high blood pressure diabetes or cancer which runs in my family. I'm not being rude I'm just been real about who I am because I didn't ask for help I just gave my opinion of how I was feeling. I know if I'm feeling weak is either because I didn't eat enough of something or I just need to move. and if that doesn't work I will call my doctor by Doctor would be my last resort. I'm a Google phonetic.

Which I understand it just takes time what kind if Protein do you use ? Everyone seems to be weak after surgery until their body heals but def I do google as well but call my doctor for stuff I can't test myself since I'm not a Nurse or have a Medical Degree nor do I wait on a doctors appt my surgeon does same day appts but I've never heard a doctor clearing someone without any health issues this surgery or any illness and moat who have the surgery are obese with at least diabetes , high cholesterol, sleep apnea or combination of both on top of obesity but each doctor is different as I have seen on here , so you shouldn't have any problem recovering lovely ....When did you have surgery?

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
