I'm 3 weeks post op and had been feeling great. I'm on soft foods and tolerating well, trying to get liquids in and working on my protein. It's a struggle because I just can't stomach the protein shakes right now. I recently have started feeling light headed and a little dizzy. It's an odd feeling, hard to describe. My blood pressure is normal. I just don't feel good. Anyone else experienced this? Planning to call doctor tomorrow.

The first few days they say sip sip sip. What a joke! It's more like barely dipped your upper lip into the water = sip. Gets better (for most of us) pretty quickly though

Ha! It really is. I had a night nurse get lippy with me about it..she scolded me for sipping my liquid percocet to slow. So I turned the tables on her. Asked her to coach me threw dirnking the little cup of red liquid. She did. I thanked her and then I finslly had an idea of exactly what sort of sips they meant. Otherwise I would not have known.

-------------------- Hi Seela, I hope you feel better too!! My son used to work for a family Tea business. He just left to San Diego right now to get certified as a Tea Master. He's the one that made me peppermint tea leaves when I got home from hospital to relieve my horrible gas pains and it was and still is my miracle make my tummy feel good tea and reliefs gas too. If anyone would like advise on which teas to make and drink send me a private message. He's will be selling organic teas soon. He makes all his teas from loose leaves hot and cool refreshing ones. And ginger teas are delishes and healthy for us. I have been experience blurry vision. I'm assuming it's related to not enough Vitamins but will let y'all know how feeling by Friday since I was able to drink them all today.

-----------------------

Had my 8wk post-op appt and my surgeon said my blurry vision may be due to possibly low Vitamin A, so I have to go do lab work. He request full panel if all vitamins and thyroid.

I feel relieved somewhat to learn it is related to not enough vitamins and know I will be able to see better in time.

I'm also having pain on right side if stomach somewhat by rib cage, not too bad, but pain does come on suddenly, some days more than others. It's not gas, so todo him about it to and apparently I should if been taking Meds for gallbladder right after surgery but they didn't prescribe it bcuz I was feeling too dizzy and weak. I start taking med tomrw hopefully to prevent from having any gallbladder complications or having it removed, very common for WL patients. If pain increases he's going to have me go do an ultrasound.

Anyone else having pain towards ride side of stomach? Or did your doc prescribe meds right after surgery to prevent gallstone/gallbladder issues?
