Four days post op. No fever or any suspicious looking things on my incisions but I keep getting the chills. Is that normal?

I just feel so fatigued and gross right now :(

I think it's normal! More than half of your stomach is gone, the rest is swollen and you just had an anesthesia! I felt pretty tired and very very cold at least two weeks and a half after the surgery to be honest.

It's a bad moment to go through, but it does not last long :) Cheers!

Thanks for responding. I called the surgeons office and they said it can be normal but to keep an eye on it. She said that like 5 times so I didn't feel very comforted. I'm also nauseous even with zofran :(

You are probably cold because you are not moving around as much as what you normally would be. You also are not warming yourself up with food, or the secondary thermogenic warmth your body creates to digest and process food..

I'm a week post op and also have times when I'm very chilled. No fever or anything. I guess is just normal.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
