I'm 9 days post op. I can hardly stand for 5 minutes without getting out of breath. I can't take my Vitamins, they make me sick. I'm getting all my Protein in. Not my Water though. I started my period today, maybe that's it? Idk.. I'm wondering if I should go to the hospital... My Bari center is closed today.

I'm certainly no expert but breathing difficulty is so not right, why would this be linked to your period? Go and get yourself checked out. If it is dehydration they can give IV fluids, if it is nothing they can reassure you.

I'm exhausted without doing much physical activity. I can't even do laundry. During my period I feel more tired. That's why I didn't know if it had anything to do with it. I'll see how I'm feeling tonight. Might go get some IV fluids.

I'd go to the hospital. I bet u need an IV infusion. Once you're not so dehydrated I bet you'll feel better.

That's so weird....on day 9 I was feeling super fatigued and crampy and achy. Almost like I was getting the flu. Still felt off the morning of day 10, but went to work and was feeling normal by the afternoon. Not to say you shouldn't seek help, but it's ironic that was the same day I felt that way.

I have a standing order for IV fluids at a local walk in clinic. I haven't had to use it yet. I was surprised a walk in clinic could give IV fluids. Maybe this would be a good route to avoid an emergency room co-pay if you end up needing fluids.

Feeling better today. Forced down tons of liquids and had my husband pick up gummy vitamins from cvs. I must have been dehydrated and partly malnourished.

Thank goodness. I've really been worried as I follow your progress.

      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! 😞
