WellIm about 2 months post o.o. and 38 pounds down. I feel like I'm constantly struggling to get in liquids and protein. I average about 35grams of protein and 3-4 cups of liquid a day. Exercise is about 40mins or more on weekdays and 30 mins or more on weekends. I know I could be better, but sometimes I feel so weak, like I have no energy! To top it off, I'm still getting bad pain in my legs, and it seems to be worsening at times. As well as the chest pain Ive been getting, it also seems to have gotten much worse. Not sure if my pneumonia never fully went away or its something to do with my sleeve. There are also random times of pain and discomfort in my abdomen, as well as twitching and pulsating in my abdomen and legs. I feel like I cant even eat any kind of meat or protein without feeling suck to my stomach! The worst part is if I take even a bite to much. I I feel like I'm ready to explode and feel sick for the next few hours. I just dont even know what to do! My body feels like its constant weak and I feel tired a lot.im also constantly worrying something serious is going on especially because of all the chest and leg pains that seem to have escalated a lot more lately. Just last night I was at Wal-Mart for a a little less then 2hrs. After about and hour an a half I started to feel a little sick. Next thing I know I'm getting bad chest pain, I can barely catch my breath and feel like I'm gonna pass out. I really thought I was gonna have to go to the er. Is this normal? What do u guys suggest? Anyone else experience anything like this??

My husband has accompanied me thus far... But there has been so much outside stressors... I haven't gone to the recommended sessions yet but I will. Probably next week. I guess I just want to see the results of the endoscopy. I want the sleeve, but I'm scared they're going to see signs of acid reflux, which means I'll have to have the rue n y

No, it doesn't necessarily mean that. It depends on both your surgeon and the degree of reflux you have - if you have reflux. Try to relax, getting anxious won't do anything but make you miserable. Nobody needs that.

Thank you 2goldengirl. Very encouraging. ????

@@ZombieQueen - how are you doing today?

Did you call your doctors office and see about moving up your appointment?

I agree that you need to look at possible dehydration. Are you on any BP meds? My BP dropped significantly after about a 25 lb loss - made me feel like crap.

Hey Jane, thanks for checking in. As of now not yet, I had plans to but forgot an then to top it off woke up super sick today. Its weird because I had my flu shot but I guess it doesn't always work! I have no strength what so ever, been fighting to keep moving and exercising all day, my bodys killing me. I did not expect to feel worse then what I already did but its really getting very wintery and cold here so I should've been a bit more prepared. I'm so glad you reminded me of this cause I have not even thought about it all day today. Just trying to focus on getting my liquids in an doing some walking. Been sucking on halls all day for my sore throat and trying not to throw up whatever I eat. Tonight before bed I'll be sure to set an alarm on my phone with a note to call and reschedule. Let them know whats going on with me and hopefully find out soon. When I do I'll try an update you guys! Thanks again.

And I'm alone. My husband is so scared for me. But I would rather die than be so obese.

It would also be a good idea to have your husband go to a couple of support group meetings with you. It'll do both of you good to be face to face with others who share or have shared the same concerns. His questions and concerns will receive the same courtesy and consideration as yours.

I am at almost 2 months also and had the same problem with nausea added in. Mine was dehydration. I really pounded the Water for a couple of days and the symptoms went away. I also struggle with getting in all the Protein and fluids but have found the Fluid to be more important. Also someone here posted about GENEPRO unflavored Protein powder and it has been a godsend. It has 30 grams of protein in a small scoop. I mix that into refried Beans, chili or eggs and that way I get the protein grams in even if I can't eat 3 full meals.
