Feeling rubbish

Hi all I am 9 months out of surgery and currently 11 stone weight loss from surgery to date.

I am struggling with fatigue and I am feeling lightheaded and cold off and on throughout the day. I have been sick a few times in the past week and it's really getting me down.

Does.anyone have any ideas or advice??

So you are 154lbs down in 9 months? Are you under a surgeon's care? Do you have high blood pressure? I would contact your doctor. The lightheaded feeling could be from a drop in blood pressure, if you are on meds you would want that checked. Feeling cold - probably normal with such a high weight loss. I am FREEZING all the time now. In fact I am wearing fingerless gloves while at work while I type!

When you say you have been sick a few times - do you mean vomiting or feeling of general crappiness?

Sorry for the questions but you were a little vague.

Thanks I will do, at last count it was fine but that was 3 months ago or so

Are you getting in all of your Protein and fluids?

Are you taking all of your Vitamins and supplements?

Have you had your blood tested lately?

Have you had your blood pressure checked lately?

Have you had your annual flu shot?

Is a bug going around?

Definitely check with your doctor.

It may or may not be something related to your sleeve or nutrition but your doctor would be the best place to start for an answer this far after surgery.
