My beginning journey



Recommended Posts

Hello my name is Cocodoll45. I am 14 days post op of gastric bypass. I been having such a hard post surgery journey. I can't drink anything to much. The Protein Shakes and Gatorade are too sweet. Water I'm barely getting this down. I'm always weak and tired. I'm feeling like I made a mistake by getting this done. Please help me with other options I can do to get more fluids in please.

In the beginning I found the same problem with Protein Shakes and Water. I relied on homemade Bone Broth Soups. chicken bone broth was my #1 friend. And I learned to force myself to drink the shakes for fear of future Hair loss.

I as well am about the same time frame out and experienced the same thing. Today I actually finally started feeling better. Big difference for me was making sure I do not eat 30 minutes after I drink and then don't drink for 30 minutes after I eat. Md also gave me mess to help prevent muscle spasms which is a life saver.

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!

      Today was rough...
      I've been experiencing a headache all day today that just won't go away. I'm thinking it's now progressing into a migraine. Does anyone else get headaches from taking vitamin B12? I did some research and learned that usually a lack of B12 causes headaches. But I've noticed when I take it, I have reoccurring headaches. 😫
