Anyone having problems staying focused or concentrating?

I am 2 weeks post sleeve surgery. It is going very well for the most part. I have noticed problems concentrating and with short term memory. My wife said that I have not been myself. I think it is most likely due to consuming about 500 calories a day, my brain does not have the fuel it needs. I was curious if anyone else is experiencing anything like this?

Your brain needs fat, and Water. How is your water intake? Anywhere near 128 oz a day?

I can’t get the fat from what I am allowed to eat currently. I am getting over 72 oz a day but nowhere near 128 oz.

Why can't you eat fats? There are so many healthy fats that you could/should be eating... 72 is decent, but current medical research is showing that non-wls humans require 90-100+ oz of Water a day just to meet the bodies minimum requirements. For WLS, since we need more water to process fat removal, we need to be consuming more than the minimum requirements. See if you can increase your water intake and if that helps out. I'd also suggest getting some fats, either from fish, fish oils, supplements specific for mental support, nuts, etc.

I can only eat creamed Cereal, fat free yogurt and creamed Soup for 1 more week. Plus Protein Shakes. In 1 week I can add blended foods like tuna. No supplements for 30 days. I have put a call in to my Bariatric nurse. Thanks for the advice!

Get in touch with your Nutritionist and let them know about your continued fog, they can and typically will adjust diets as needed, what you are given is a general guideline, since everyone is different, those guidelines typically get adjusted and fine tuned to meet your specific requirements.

Good luck!

First stages are rough. I hope you will be feeling better as your diet progresses to soft foods/real food. Hang in there.

Well perhaps it is low calories or low Protein like I had, I am thinking clearer after my TPN was introduced more like the good parts of my presurg life,although there were many facets I don't like to remember, maintaining a sense of humor is important to me. After all, none of us will be leaving this world alive, might as well make our lives together pleasant.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
