Tingling toes, weird sensations one week out from surgery

Hi everyone. I was sleeved one week ago today. Yesterday was a strange day. I awoke feeling super weak but knew that wasn't uncommon so wasn't concerned. By early evening, my toes were tingling and as I walked around the house, it felt like I wasn't making full contact with the ground, like I was stepping on something real airy. Hard to describe and is a very strange feeling. As a result of being constipated, I took laxatives which went into full effect late last night and of course, you know the results of laxatives is always diarrhea or close to it. I'm feeling the same today.

I've had no problems meeting my Water and Protein goals, take the 2 Bariatric Advantage chewables as directed, so I don't what the heck this is.

I have contacted my surgeon's office, but I just am wondering if anybody else has experienced this? Thank you :)

Could be temporary, associated with less carbs and calories. However, it's also a symptom of diabetes. Check with the doctor.

Thank you! I considered carb withdrawal which may be why I get shaky hands quite often. I read somewhere that this might be a deficiency. I'll ask the doc tomorrow at my post op.
