Tuesday will make 6 weeks for me and I'm starting to really feel great! Hubby had foot surgery and is non weight bearing for a few weeks and I'm picking up the pace more and more..this upcoming week is about as jam packed as I could ever think of making it and...I'm so tired all the time! I'm happy don't get me wrong...probably the happiest I've been in awhile..just get so dang tired!! I'm getting all my Protein & Fluid in religiously. I did have another episode where I thought I would faint but fortunately I didn't this time but I called my dr. Go in fri when he's back in town and until then will see my PCM if these fainting issues rear their head. So...did anyone else experience this? I'm so tired I feel like I can barely make it through my day. I'm still using my Cpap so I'm not relating this to my sleep apnea. Idk.?

In the beginning I had the fainting spells. It went away. Then numb fingers took extra Calcium that solve that issue.

Have you checked your blood pressure?

I had this happen as well early on. Went to my pcp and my blood pressure was barely 90/60. Went off my hb medicine right away. Make sure you stay well hydrated too. Dehydration can make you feel faint.

No I haven't but that was something the nurse mentioned also it could be. I'm keeping a food log also to take

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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?

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
