Recommended Posts

I am 13 wks post op. And 7 wks preggo....not planned went thru the whole shock and devastation period. Now I'm facing reality, with twins growing in me I have no energy for anything. Do you think my doc will put me on bed rest til the second trimester when my energy comes back.

I doubt they will put you on bed rest just cause you have no energy but then again I'm not a doctor either. Its part of being pregnant. I quit my job cause all I did was sleep and throw up my first trimester and I'm still fatigue at 17 weeks. I know everyone cant do that but maybe cutting back on hours if possible may help. Talk to your doctor and see what they say. Good luck.

Okay so I went to my Ob today and got sent to the ER to get fluids. In dehydrated my blood pressure is low and to top it off I have a UTI. They are going to give me an IV at home, waiting on approval from insurance.

Take care yourself. Dehydration will happen a lot if you don't keep fluids in ya. Trust me...I deal with it a few times a month and usually can get myself back on track. Few times I've needed a IV. Good luck and try as hard as you can to get fluids in.

I'm sorry you're feeling so drained. I felt the same way but my issue was low Iron. I now get Iron infusions 3x/week. Hope you feel better soon.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
