Last night I skipped dinner because my stomach was feeling just odd. Thursday night my son had a stomach flu maybe it was a touch of that, but this morning I could barely stand up and sit down with my 9 month old God son in my arms. It was a bizarre feeling I haven't had since my heart problems started 10 years ago. I squatted down to pick something up later and seriously did not have the energy to stand back up. Until yesterday I have met my Protein goals and have been feeling great.I'm pushing the liquids and ate protein once today all though I could not eat much. If it is not better by morning, I'll call in, with my bum heart I have always had down days where I was so tired I had to rest maybe I'm getting spoiled so today caught me off guard.

At about 6-8 weeks post surgery I was very weak and tired (by around 3 pm I was too tired to do much) and my pulse was down to 50 beats per minute. My blood test results were normal and a 24 hour heart monitor showed nothing wrong with my heart. It went away after about a week and a half but the doctors never did figure out what caused it. Maybe you have the same thing I had.

I hope so, still just trying to get Fluid down and not anything else. Feel ok but have to try and get my meds down.

I had the same problem yesterday. I felt so weak. I think it's because I didn't have any Protein in the morning!

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
