Post op problems

[Sparton warrior 0]

Hello I am writing this on behalf of my wife as she doesn't have internet at home and i am at work

It has been 12 months..

I am looking to chat with Like minded post op people that have trouble with the following and how they are coping with it.

- Experiencing the cold most of the time

- Loss of hair

- Low blood pressure

- finding it near impossible to eat the amount of Protein required

- Only passing stools twice a week

Would be great to hear of people experiencing the same or simalr issues to these and share how you deal with them.

Much appreciated

Loving and caring Husband

The symptoms she's having sounds like it could possibly be an underactive thyroid.

Isopure has Clear liquids that contain a fair amount of Protein. Also, my surgeon told me from day 1 it was a good idea to walk at least 1/2 hour per day.

Folks on this site could help her better if the correct stats were put on her profile.

Sounds to me like not getting enough Protein could be contributing to many of those other symptoms. Is she prioritizing Protein every time she eats? Is the difficulty getting enough protein due to just not being able to eat enough in general or not enjoying high-protein foods? Is she supplementing her protein in any way with protein shakes/bars? If so, which ones?

Has she discussed these concerns with her surgeon/nutritionist? If that's not an option, how about her PCP?

I wish you the best of luck in trying to get the answers she needs to feel happy and healthy!
