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....

      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! 😞
