So today was my first day back to work (I am a server/bartender) and about three hours into my shift I felt horrendous...

Had my sleeve done 10/28

My diet consists of 2 Protein shakes and a Greek yogurt and sometimes a sugar free snack at night. Today I brought my yogurt to work with me.

In the past, I'd keep myself running by taking sips of soda here and there and now that I'm doing only Water I feel like I just worked out to the point I'm going to throw up!

I feel dizzy and light headed. Anybody experience this? Anybody have some advice?

Thanks!

-Chris

I would say that you are not getting enough food or nutrition to keep up with being on your feet so much. Your body is still healing. What stage are you in on your plan? There needs to be food/puree/liquids added to your daily grind.

You are probably burning off much more then you are taking in. I know it is hard to get more in, but do what you can. You may end up having to take more time off work.

My doctor say we don't feel tired because of the low caloric intake, we are tired because we are still healing from major surgery. As long as you are meeting Water and Protein goals, and taking Vitamins, I don't know what else you could do. Most people go back to a desk job it seems. I am 2 weeks out today and needed a nap this afternoon (busy weekend) but then I am older than most of you guys.

I am 2 months out and when I'm at work and forget to eat it's like as soon as 2 bites kick in, I see the haze lift. The scary part is I often don't realize the haze was there in the first place.

I have felt faint. It happened on a day where I skipped my afternoon snack because I was busy at work. I was commuting home by transit and had to call my husband to come pick me up. I learned my lesson. My calorie intake is too low to skip anything. Now I make sure I'm getting my 3 meals and 2 Snacks in no matter what.

Most important I found in the early days was my Vitamins.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
