Feeling weak - 5 months post op



Recommended Posts

I am feeling so weak by the end of my work day. Is anyone else feeling weak or has felt like this ? If so what helped? I feel like I come hope from work and I am so exhausted. All I want to do is go to bed. I literally have no energy. If I dont sit down I start getting dizzy and then nauseous. Any afvice ?

I should mention that i have had my period twice in the month of july. One cycle for 15 days and the second for 12 days. I have been diagnosed with PCOS.

You could be anemic. Are you taking Iron? I would talk to your Gyn Dr about your period. That's a lot of bleeding.

I had that too. I needed to increase my calorie intake some and get extra Vitamin B12 and that seemed to help.

Anemia or other medical conditions could be the issue. Please check with you doctors as soon as possible. It is very important.

Sounds like our body is stressed out. Sometimes, stress can cause irregular periods. When I was super stressed a few months ago, I had my period for 2 weeks. I have PCOS, too. Try contacting your doctor. In my opinion, this is normal.

I'm 5 months out feeling exhausted during the day also, about a month ago my pcp found out I'm very anemic, I've been on a 2 a day 325mg of Iron for a month now, still tired however I heard it can take awhile for iron levels to come back up....

      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!!
