Recommended Posts

I had surgery Nov 5 2013 for the first 8 months things where great . F or the last 2 months I have had no energy I eat I am on the couch when I feel like eating my stomach feel like it is burning up on the inside. I drink a bottle of antacid in a day or 2. most of the time I lay on the couch with a heating pad.I take 40mg of Omeprazole twice a day and they just added 300 mg of Ranitidine. I use to be able to to to the gym but now I cant do hardly any thing. . ANYONE ELSE HAVE THESE ISSUES ? Thank you Pam

You need to get to the doc and get your blood looked at. If you were good for 8 months and now exhausted it points to a deficiency which can happen even if you've been compliant about your protein\supplement intake.

So sorry to hear you are in pain. I have had stomach problems and heartburn for years so I understand how uncomfortable you are.

My surgeon told us that it was a possibility. My heartburn and pain went away after surgery. But they found a hiatal hernia and repaired it during surgery so I'm sure that helped.

People respond differently to different acid medications and it sounds like yours isn't working. See if they can try a different one. My surgeon prescribes protonix, might be worth trying.

Yep, Lexie. I'm thinking it's time for a doctor visit.

Definitely sounds like a nutritional deficiency to me. Are you staying hydrated?

      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? 🤷‍♀️
