I had my surgery on Dec 20. I got home on Dec 21. I'm doing fine. Just walk while your at the hospital. I hope you get a Pca pump for pain. They work nice. Good luck on your surgery.

Is anyone else having that strange dizzy/lightheaded/foggybrained feeling after surgery? I can't seem to shake it

Lapband revision to gastric bypass on 12-14-2016

Weight day of surgery: 308.2 lbs

Current weight: 300.8

Total weight loss: 7.4 lbs

I did two days after I got home. Come to find out that I had bought the wrong Glacéau Vitamin Water Zero that had sugar in it. When I stopped taking it on the Monday after I got home, two days later I started feeling tired and lightheaded. After I told my NUT, she told me to try to add a shake and see if that helped. It did that day but the next day I was feeling the same. So when I emailed her that, she told me to have my blood pressure or blood sugar checked. I checked my blood pressure at home and it was normal. Then I thought about the Glacéau and told her that maybe because I stopped drinking that, that caused my tiredness and lightheadedness. She told me to add the V8 Splash Diet and that the little amount of sugar in it will be balanced out by the little bit of carbs. It helped a lot. No more tiredness or lightheadedness.

My name is Mario. It's almost debilitating when I sneeze. I have lost 25 pounds since surgery ... I am extremely tired of broths and ready to try soft and puree food can't wait until the 3rd of January for my post op.

That's too bad! Hug a pillow when you have to sneeze next time and see if that helps. I haven't been home to weigh myself since Thursday, but at that point I was 10 days post-op and down 15lbs.

And btw I'm Susie

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
