I feel drunk and unsteady ALL the time.

I'm 11 days post up, and I have to ask about these symptoms. The pain of surgery is gone, but I'm so unsteady that I can barely do anything. I can get out and walk some, but definitely not clear-headed enough to drive. Most of the time I feel very drunk, and all I've had is Water. it might get a little better after some rest, but it never goes away completely. I'm trying to stay hydrated and keep up with Protein needs. I tried walking heel-toe on a straight line (classic DUI test), and failed miserably.

No real nausea, no throwing up, just fatigue and spinning head.

Help, please. :-(

Are you still on your blood sugar medications? You can be hypoglycemic. You should definitely have your blood sugar checked . Borrow somebody's if you have to.

Make sure to discuss this with your surgeon. He may want to review your current medications and hydration status . Feel better

it could also be you are clearing anesthesia VERY slowly. it is not uncommon. i would call my surgeons office and just run it by the doc on call...janet is also on the right track, could be a sugar issue if you aren't intaking anything but Water.

That happend to me . I ate to much one day felt like that and on top of it I was on my diabetes meds I don't take the meds and stopped eating to much in one setting and it went away . Plus it could of been the fact I was still coming down from the surgery . But if it don't stop call your dr
